Step 3: Code the Meter.
While the meter
displays code--,
or after the word
insert is displayed,
press and release the
C button; the code
number will appear.
Continue pressing
the C button until
the number on the
display matches the code number on the
test strip vial. The code number is now
set for the test strips you are using. The
meter will remember this code number
until you change it. You are now ready to
do a test.
Checking the System
There are two ways to check that your
OneTouch
® Basic ® System is working
properly. The check strip is used to
check that the meter is operating
properly. OneTouch
® Normal Control
Solution is used to check that both the
meter and the test strips are working
together as a system, and that you are
doing the test correctly. It is very
important that you do these simple
checks routinely for accurate results.
