Caring for the System

Store meter in the carrying case provided whenever

possible.

Wash hands and dry thoroughly before handling to

keep the meter and test strips free of oils and other
contaminants.

Handle the meter carefully to avoid damaging the

electronics or causing other malfunctions.

Avoid exposing meter and test strip to excessive

humidity, heat, cold, dust, or dirt.

The exterior of the meter can be cleaned using a

moist (not wet) lint-free tissue with a mild detergent
or disinfectant solution, such as 1 part bleach mixed
with 9 parts water. Wipe dry with lint-free tissue
after cleaning.

Do not allow solution to run down into the

test strip port or around the buttons. Doing

so may cause a malfunction.

place, lining up with the open
slots, and close fi rmly.

Keep batteries away from children. Lithium

batteries are poisonous. If swallowed, imme-

diately contact your physician or poison

control center. Discard batteries according to

your local environmental regulations.
