PERFORMING A CONTROL SOLUTION TEST
[1] When the meter is not connected to your iHealth Gluco-Smart
App on your iOS device:
Step 1: Turn on the control solution test (CTL) mode.
Insert the test strip into the meter's strip port to turn on the
meter. When the blood sample symbol appears on the meter
display, press the memory button to turn on the CTL mode.
When the CTL symbol appears, the meter is in control solution
test mode and will not save this test result in memory.
