3.1 Caution when using the Meter
Time and date are pre-set in the meter. Please make sure that time and date settings are correct before first
use, and adjust them if needed. Always check the settings after changing the battery (§7.3).
CAUTION
● For accurate test results, allow the meter, test strips and control solution to adjust to the surroundings
for 30 minutes before testing your blood glucose levels:
- temperature: 5 to 45 °C (41 to 113 °F);
- humidity: 20 to 90% RH (Relative Humidity).
● Do not store or use the meter where:
- there are sharp temperature fluctuations;
- humidity is high and causes condensation (bathrooms, drying rooms, kitchen, etc.);
- there is a strong electromagnetic field (close to a microwave oven, cell phone, etc.).
● Keep the meter out of the reach of children. Coin batteries may represent a choking hazard.
● Do not use the meter if it has been dropped in a liquid or liquids have entered inside, even if dried
afterwards.
● Avoid hand contact with test strip port on the meter. A thermo sensor is housed inside the meter to
minimize any errors.
