Error message Meaning
The meter rotates the drum and reads
the bar code. When you next turn on
the meter to perform a test, the drum
symbol and flashing bottle symbol are
displayed. Perform a performance
check. You may use all the test strips
remaining in the drum. The 90-day
use-by period will no longer be calcu-
lated for this drum. The drum symbol
will therefore be displayed each time
you perform a test until you insert a
new test strip drum.
The bar code on the test strip drum is
damaged.
You can no longer perform tests with
test strips from this drum. Insert a
new drum.
