HELPFUL HINTS:
• Always check that the Receiver and meter date and time are the same.
• Make sure a blood drop or glucose reading is displayed in the Status Box on any Trend Graph
before calibrating.
• Only fingerstick readings between 40-400 mg/dL can be used for calibration.
If 1 or more of your readings entered was outside of this range, the SEVEN PLUS will not calibrate.
You will have to wait to calibrate until your blood glucose is in this range.
• Always make sure the Antenna Symbol is displayed in the lower right corner of the Trend Graph
before you take fingersticks for calibration.
• You should always use the same glucose meter to calibrate the SEVEN PLUS that you routinely use
to measure your blood glucose. Do not switch your BG meter in the middle of Sensor wear.
