; insert a MyGlucoHealth Test Strip
into test port on the top of the meter. Insert the strip with the My-
GlucoHealth logo

When you insert the strip into the meter, the power automatically
turns on, displaying the code and temperature. After 3 seconds, the
code number and testing temperature will disappear.

ter on, but a test cannot be performed.

port and re-insert the strip.
