Draw up blood or control solution with the
test strip now.
2 During a test and when the result is being
displayed: the temperature is outside the
permitted range of +10 °C to +40 °C.
Do not use this result as a basis for thera-
peutic decisions.
Move to a place where the temperature is
between +10 °C and +40 °C and wait for
the temperature of the meter to adjust to
this temperature. Repeat the test with a
new test strip.

Symbol Meaning
In memory: at the time of testing the tem-
perature was outside the permitted range.
3 The batteries are running low.
When the symbol first appears in the dis-
play, you can perform about 50 more
tests.
If you use NiMH rechargeable batteries
instead of normal batteries, fewer than 50
more tests can be performed. If the
rechargeable batteries are old and
exhausted, it may not be possible to per-
form even one more test.
When the batteries are so low that no
more tests can be performed, just the bat-
tery symbol appears briefly for 3 seconds
in the display. Then the meter turns off.
Insert two batteries (new or recharged).
