Check the round control window on the back of the test strip with
the colour scale printed on the test strip container. The colour of the
control window must match that of the colour interval at the top
(0 mg/dL / 0 mmol/L). If the test strip shows a different colour, do
not use it.
Hold the test strip so that the application area and arrows are facing
upwards. Gently push the test strip in the direction of the arrows
➃
into the test strip guide of your monitor, until you hear it click into
place.
Inserting the test strip automatically puts the monitor in Test Mode.
Please remember that your monitor automatically turns off after
about 1–2 minutes of non-use (i.e. when no button is pressed).
If this happens, remove the test strip and repeat the procedure
described above with a new test strip.
Now watch the display.
