Test the sample. Do Not:

• Scrape the blood.
• Apply blood to the flat side of the test strip.
• Apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is out of
the receiver.

touch the half-circle on the test strip to the sample.
Important: Your blood glucose level must be between 60 and
300 mg/dL (3.3 and 16.7 mmol/L) to be able to perform
calibration tests. If your blood glucose level is changing
rapidly, you may not be able to calibrate the system.
b. Observe the receiver:
• The stopwatch icon does NOT
appear within 5 seconds.
Continue adding blood sample to the
SAME half-circle for up to 60 seconds.
• The receiver BEEPS ONCE (only
if Progress Tones are turned on).
Enough blood has been used.
• The stopwatch icon appears. The receiver is measuring your blood
glucose level.
• The receiver BEEPS TWICE (only
if Progress Tones are turned on).
The test is done. Go to Step 7.
• Your blood glucose results appear
in the display (takes an average of
7 seconds).
• The receiver beeps three times. The test has failed. Repeat the test.
Refer to Section 10 for error messages
and troubleshooting. • You get an error message.
