Caution
If "EP" blinks on the screen when a test strip is inserted, check
your strip expiration date. ("EP" only appears when the setting
of notifying expiration date feature is ON. Please read page 19
or page 42 for further information on setting strip expiration
date.)

Applying Blood Sample

Step 9
Obtain a blood sample using the
lancing device. Place the device against
the pad of the finger as shown in the
diagram. Press the release button.
Remove the device from the finger. Wait
a few seconds for a blood drop to form.
A minimum volume of 0.5 microliter is
needed to fill the confirmation window
(actual size of 0.5 μL: ).
Step 10
After the symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood
sample to the narrow end of the test strip till the meter beeps.
If the confirmation window is not filled in time because of
abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufficient
volume, the Er4 message may appear.
It is recommended that the application of blood sample to the
test strip be performed virtually vertical to the sample site as
shown in the diagram below.
