Step 2 – Testing Blood Glucose
Note: Insertion of a new test strip at any time, except while in the data
transfer mode (detailed on page 34) will cause the meter to automatically
enter the test mode.
1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact bars end first and facing up, to
turn on the meter and display all the display segments. If the audio option
is on, the meter will beep, signaling the meter is turned on. The display will
turn on briefly with all the icons and segments turned on. Check the
display to confirm that all the display segments turn on with no missing
components.
The display will then show only the date and time, with a dash moving
across the display. Check the display to ensure no inappropriate
segments or icons are permanently turned on.
NOT READY
2. Following this display check, the system will enter the test mode. The
display will show the date and time and the strip icon with the blood
sample icon blinking, to indicate that the test strip is inserted correctly and
a drop of blood can be added. If the test strip has been inserted incorrectly,
the meter will not turn on. The meter is ready for testing when the blinking
blood drop and strip symbol appears. At this time a blood drop can be
added.
