Step 1
Enter the Code
Mode.
Insert a test strip
to turn on the
meter. Push it all
the way in until
it will go no
further. Avoid
bending the test strip. The display check will
appear. Then the code number is displayed
for three seconds.
The first time you use the meter, three dashes
Q will flash, meaning that there is no
code stored in the memory. Follow Step 3
to code the meter. If three dashes appear any
other time, see page 56 of Display Messages
and Problem-Solving Guide.
Step 2
Match the Code Numbers.
Compare the code number on the meter
display with the code number on the test strip
vial. If the two code numbers match, you may
begin testing. If they do not match, follow
Step 3.
mCAUTION: Matching the code on the meter
and the code on the test strip vial is essential
to obtain accurate results. Each time you test,
check to make sure the code numbers match.
