5 Setting the penetration depth
You can set seven different penetration depths on the lancing de-
vice. The penetration depth is displayed by the markings in the cap.
• soft or thin skin
• normal skin
• thick or callous skin
Turn the moving upper part of the cap until the desired penetration
depth is displayed.
Note
When using the AST cap, penetration depth does not need to be set.
6 Pull the tensioning device back until it audibly engages. Release the
tensioning device. This automatically snaps back into the default po-
sition. The lancing device is now ready for use.

8 Take a test strip from the box and immediately close it again.
9 Hold the blood glucose monitor so that the display is facing you.

make sure that the front is facing you. You can touch the test strip at
any point with clean, dry hands.
Use the test strip within three minutes of taking it from the box.
11 The device automatically switches on and shows the start display. The device is ready for
measurement as soon as the hand and the droplet symbol flash.
