Using the Markers and Alarm

When the alarm sounds,
the meter will automati-
cally turn on, the alarm
will sound 20 times, and
the display will show the
pre-meal test result you
marked when you set the
alarm. Pressing any but-
ton will silence the alarm.

You can now run another test
by placing a test strip in the test
strip port and following the
testing instructions (page 8).

When you have completed this
test and the result is shown on
the display, you may want to
mark this test with the

identify this test result as your
post-meal result.

If you do not want to run another test immediately after the
alarm sounds, press any button to turn your meter off.

The meter will only set one alarm. It will remember the last
alarm set. Any previous alarm setting will be lost.

For example: An alarm has been set. You decide to
retest before that alarm goes off. If you mark the new
test result with a pre-meal marker

and set a new

alarm

, the old alarm setting will be ignored and only

the new setting will sound in 2½ hours.
