The test strip draws up the control solution through the black notch.
Move the test strip away from the control solution as soon as the
hourglass symbol is displayed and the meter beeps (provided the
beep tone is turned on).
The test strip has then drawn up enough control solution, and testing
starts. The hourglass symbol indicates that the meter is busy per-
forming a test. The meter automatically detects that the test strip has
drawn up control solution. The bottle symbol
the display when the test starts.
Testing is complete after approx. 5 seconds. The result is displayed and
the meter beeps (provided the beep tone is turned on). The meter at the
same time saves the result together with the bottle symbol . The saved
result is thus recognizable as being a performance check result.

The concentration table has two rows and two columns. Rows 1 and 2
contain concentration data for the two different control solutions, G1
and G2; the columns are for the two different units of measurement,
mmol/L and mg/dL.
Make sure you compare the result with the concentration data stated for
the control solution you used and the unit of measurement your meter
displays.
