Things to remember:
• Run a Control Test frequently to make sure that you are
using good technique and that your system is working
properly.
• Always check the EXPIRATION DATE on the Test Strip foil
packet or carton before using. Throw away expired Test
Strips. Use only unexpired Test Strips.
• Use the Test Strip immediately after removing from the foil
packet.
• Insert the Test Strip until it comes to a full stop. When
inserted fully, the tab on the top portion of the strip should
be completely hidden within the Meter.
• If using the memory feature, be sure to “mark” the Control
Test before running the test (see Section 4).
• Remove the Test Strip immediately after use to turn off the
Meter and preserve battery life.
• The Meter turns off automatically after 3 minutes if the
strip is left in the Meter.
• Test Strips cannot be reused.
• The end flap of your Test Strip carton lists specific Control
Ranges for that carton of strips. Please keep this end flap
until all the Test Strips in the carton are used.
