Note: For any step of the set up, if the M or S button is pressed and held, it will
allow a faster adjustment.
11. Using Your Meter's Lights
Pressing the Power Button for 2 seconds will light the display's backlight or the
test strip's port light. It depends on what mode your meter is in.
Using the Test Strip Port Light and Display Backlight
• When the meter is off, press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds to turn
on the meter. The meter display will first show all segments and then go into
the mode of waiting for strip insertion. After the meter turns on, press and
hold the Power button for 2 seconds to turn on the test strip port light. To
turn off the test strip port light and turn on the meter display backlight, press
and hold again the Power button for 2 seconds. To turn off the meter display
backlight, press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds.
• When the meter is off, insert a test strip to turn on the meter. The meter
display will first show all segments and then go into the mode of waiting for a
sample application. Once the meter is ready for testing, press the Power
button again for 2 seconds to turn on the test strip port light. After applying a
blood sample to the test strip, and the meter detects the sample application,
the test strip port light will turn itself off. If needed, press and hold the Power
button for 2 seconds to turn on the meter display backlight.
Notes:
• If you use either the display backlight or the test strip port light during the
test mode, the display backlight will light again to show you the test results
after the measurement is complete.
• When the meter is not waiting for a test strip to be inserted or for a blood
sample, pressing and holding the Power button for 2 seconds can only turn
on the meter display backlight.
• If the test strip port light is turned on during the testing mode, the meter will
turn off the test strip port light when the meter detects that a sample is
applied.
• When you press and hold the Power button to turn on the meter, continue
holding the Power button to enable the meter to show all display segments.
When done, release the Power button. This allows you to have more time to
examine if all display segments are displayed.
