Keep the box out of the reach of children.
The blood glucose monitor is made from precision and electronic components. The accuracy of the
measurements and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:
• Protect the device and its accessories from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctua-
tions and direct sunlight. Do not store the device, test strips and control solution in your vehicle, in
the bathroom or in a cooling appliance!
• Do not drop the device.
Batteries / Saving measured values

them. This may severely damage their health. In such cases, seek medical assistance immediately!
• Normal batteries must not be charged, heated or thrown into an open fire (risk of explosion!).
Important
• Batteries must not be taken apart or short circuited.
• Leaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend to use the device for longer periods,
remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
Attention!
• Leaking or damaged batteries may burn the skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves if this is
the case.
