Be sure that you:
■ Touch only the tip
of the drop of
blood to the test
spot.

that covers the test
spot completely
and stays wet during the entire test.
■ Do not smear blood on the test spot
or apply a second drop after the test
begins.
■ Do not move the test strip as you are
applying blood. If the test strip
moves, push it back into its original
position.
■ Do not remove the test strip from the
meter to apply blood.
■ Do not touch or move the test strip
once the count has begun.
If the Beep option is set to , the
meter will beep when the blood is
applied to the test spot. See page 39,
“Checking the Amount of Blood on the
Test Strip.”
