Insert a Test Strip
1
Insert a test strip, with the printed side facing up, into the test port of the
meter. Push it all the way in until it goes no further. The meter will turn on
automatically and beep. Then the code number and the BLOOD DROP ICON
will appear. Make sure the code number displayed on your meter and the
test strip code number match.
Obtain a Blood Drop
Obtain a blood drop from your fingertip using the lancing device (see page
14-16) The blood sample must be at least 1.5 micro liters in volume
[actual size
].
Do not force the test strip into the meter.
This may cause malfunction of the meter.
Before puncturing, gently massage the fingertip to
obtain a round drop of blood.
Do not smear the blood sample.
