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 (§8.3).
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 or β-ketone levels:
Glucose test
β-Ketone test
● 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.
● Do not connect the USB cable to the USB port during testing. The meter
may be damaged, leading to inaccurate test results.
● Do not apply blood directly to the test strip port on the meter.
● Do not share your meter with anyone else to avoid the risk of infection.
● The meter complies with applicable electromagnetic emission
requirements (EMC). However, do not perform measurements with this
meter near mobile devices or electrical or electronical equipment that are
sources of electromagnetic radiation, as these may interfere with the
proper operation of the meter.
