2 Steps Before Testing

Unpacking the Contents
Check that the contents of the package are
complete. You will find a list with the
contents on the box.
If any content is missing, contact customer
support.
Checking the Unit of
Measurement
Test results can be displayed in two
different units of measurement (mg/dL or
mmol/L). Check if your meter displays the
unit of measurement you are accustomed
to. You can find the unit of measurement
that your meter displays on the type plate
on the back of your meter. If you do not
know which unit of measurement is correct
for you, contact your healthcare
professional.
WARNING
W
The unit of measurement that your meter
displays cannot be changed. If the wrong
unit of measurement is printed on the type
plate, ask your dealer to exchange the
meter or contact customer support. An
incorrect unit of measurement could lead
to test results being interpreted falsely
and to the wrong therapy
recommendations and thus produce
serious adverse health effects.
Checking the Display
You can check if all of the display segments
are properly displayed by carrying out a full
display check.

meter.
