11.3 Humidity

Only test blood glucose at a relative humidity of between 20 % and
85 %.
Keep the meter and lancing device at a relative humidity of between
20 % and 85 %.
Sudden changes in temperature 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 keep it
in a room that is likely to harbour condensation (e.g. a bathroom).

11.4 Local sources of interference

Strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with the proper oper-
ation of the meter. Do not use the meter in close to sources of
strong electromagnetic radiation.
To avoid electrostatic discharge, do not use the meter in a very
dry environment, especially one in which synthetic materials are
present.

Symbols, error messages and troubleshooting

In addition to test results, the time and the date, your meter also dis-
plays other symbols and error messages. Some of these routine display
messages have already been explained in earlier chapters. Following is
a complete summary of all symbols and messages, what they mean and
what actions you should take when they appear.
When you use your meter, please watch out for any symbols and error
messages that are displayed. They provide you with important informa-
tion. If you do not recognize a symbol or do not understand an error
message, please refer immediately to this chapter for an explanation.
Otherwise you run the risk of wrongly interpreting your results.
