4. Adjust the depth setting

The lancing device has seven
puncture depth settings,
numbered 1 through 7.
Smaller numbers are for a
shallower puncture and the
larger numbers are for a
deeper puncture. Shallower
punctures work for children
and most adults. Deeper
punctures work well for people with thick or callused skin.
Turn the depth wheel to choose the setting.
NOTE: A shallower fingertip puncture may be less painful.
Try a shallower setting first and increase the depth until
you find the one deep enough to get a blood sample of
the proper size.

5. Prime the lancing device

Slide the priming control
back until it clicks. If it does
not click, it may already
have been primed when you
inserted the lancet.
