Setting the Hypo Flag
The hypo flag allows you to define your hypoglycemic
level and receive a reminder whenever you obtain a
blood sugar result below this level. You can set the hypo
indicator level to any number between 60 and 80 mg/dL
(3,3 and 4,4 mmol/L).
Important Note: Consult with your healthcare professional
to set the hypo marker to compliment your therapy. Do not
use the hypo marker as the only indicator of hypoglycemia.
Rely upon your symptoms and directions from your
healthcare professional.
To set the hypo flag:
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter on.
2. Wait until the strip icon or code and “---” flash
before proceeding to step 3.
3. Press and hold down the ON/OFF button until “set”
appears at the bottom of the screen. Release the
ON/OFF button.
4. Repeatedly press and release the ON/OFF button
until “hypo” flashes and “OFF” and “set” appear on
the display.
Note: the meter is factory set with the hypo flag in
the off position.
5. Press and release the right or left arrow button to
turn ON the hypo flag.
6. Briefly press and release the ON/OFF button. “Hypo”
flashes, and the current hypo indicator setting, “set,”
“mg/dL” or “mmol/L” appear on the display.
