7.4 Cleaning the Meter

Caring for the meter is easy: just keep it free of dust. If you need to clean it, follow these guidelines carefully to
help you get the best performance possible:
DO
• Ensure the meter is off
• Gently wipe the meter's surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with one of these cleaning solutions:
– 70 % isopropyl alcohol
– Mild dishwashing liquid mixed with water
– 10 % household bleach solution (1 part bleach plus 9 parts water) made the same day
• Squeeze out any excess liquid from the cloth before you wipe the meter surface
DO NOT
• Get any moisture in the activation chip slot or test strip slot
• Spray any cleaning solution directly onto the meter
• Put the meter under water or liquid
• Pour liquid into the meter
