Always hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards
when you are drawing up blood with the test strip. If you hold it
so the test strip is pointing upwards or sideways or you put the
meter down on a surface with the test strip still in it, blood can
enter the meter and contaminate it.
As soon as the test strip symbol and drop symbol flash in the dis-
play, you have approx. 5 minutes to draw up blood with the test
strip. If you have not drawn up blood within this time, i.e. testing
has not started, the meter turns off automatically. In this case,
press the Test button so as to eject the test strip (see Chapter
4.4), and dispose of the test strip. Start the blood glucose test
again with a new test strip.
