Dear PRODIGY Voice System Owner:
This manual contains important information you must know about the
system. Please read it thoroughly and carefully.
The greatest feature of the Voice system is its speaking function which is an
acoustic aid for users especially with visual disability. Please note that this
function is optional.
Another unique feature is its autocode function which means no need
to calibrate your meter, therefore making it easier for you to monitor your
blood glucose at home.
