Animation:
If your meter is connected to your iPhone or iPod touch
and the app is launched, the app will play an animation of a
sample being applied to a test strip.
The iBGStar Blood Glucose Monitoring System is now ready
for you to apply blood. You do not need to set a calibration
code for the meter.
If you connect your meter to your iPhone or iPod touch and
insert a test strip into the meter before launching the app, the
app will not play an animation of a sample being applied to a
test strip.
If you do not start the test within 4 minutes of inserting a test
strip, the meter will display the battery status and charging
symbol. To continue testing, take out the unused BGStar Test
Strip and reinsert it into the meter. Avoid touching the test
strip's sample area (where blood should be applied).
