Testing and storage conditions

Make sure that the conditions listed on the following
pages are met, so that the meter and lancing device
work reliably and you obtain accurate results.

15.1 Temperature and humidity

Without batteries and without a test cassette, the
meter should be stored at between -25 and +70 °C.
With batteries and without a test cassette, the
meter should be stored at between -10 and +50 °C.
At temperatures above +50 °C, the batteries
could leak and damage the meter.
At temperatures below -10 °C, the batteries
do not have enough power to keep the
internal clock functioning.
With batteries and with a test cassette, the meter
should be stored at between +2 and +30 °C.
Store the meter in a place with a relative humidity
between 15 and 93 %.
Testing and storage conditions 15
The temperature and humidity conditions under
which the meter can operate are +10 to 32 °C at
15 to 85 % relative humidity, including the following
exteme conditions: +32 °C at 85 % relative humidity
and +40 °C at 45 % relative humidity.
Sudden changes in temperature can cause
condensation to form in or on the meter. If this
happens, do not turn the meter on. Make sure
that it returns to ambient temperature slowly.
Never store the meter in a room that is likely to
harbour condensation (e.g. bathroom).
If the temperature is between +8 and +10 °C or
between +40 and +42 °C, the meter will still allow
you to perform a test. However, the following warn-
ing will appear (see also Chapter 16.2).
