TESTING
CAUTION: If you do not firmly insert the
test strip into the meter until it stops, the
test may start but you may get an inac-
curately low result. Do not remove test
strip until countdown is complete.
IMPORTANT: Immediately insert the
test strip after applying the blood. If you
do not insert the test strip within 2 min-
utes, discard the test strip and start over
with a new test strip.
A flashing clock symbol
appears while the meter is
reading your result. Your
glucose result appears in
about 30 seconds. Do not
remove strip until countdown is com-
plete.The wait may be shorter or longer
depending upon the current temperature.
The test result is displayed alternating
with the time, then with the date. The
meter displays results between 0 and
500 mg/dL (0-27.8 mmol/L). If the result
is above 500 mg/dL the meter displays
HI
in virtually all cases.

test strip, tapered-
end first, confir-
mation dot side
down, into the
test strip holder
until it stops.
