to keep it in good operating condi-
tion, follow these simple rules:

General Care

Keep your meter dry and avoid
exposing it to extremes in temper-
ature. Do not store your meter or
test strips in a car or refrigerator.
Dropping the meter could damage
its electronics. If you drop your
meter, do a control solution test to
ensure it is working properly.
Do not take the meter apart.
