Symbols, display 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 the meter, pay close attention to all symbols and mes-
sages. Every symbol and every message provides you with important
information. Therefore, if you do not know what a symbol means or do
not understand a message, please refer to this chapter to find the expla-
nation. Otherwise you run the risk of wrongly interpreting your results.
Several symbols may appear at the same time. For example, a combina-
tion such as test result, time and date with flashing thermometer, drum,
clock and bottle symbols may be displayed. This means that the tem-
perature during measurement was at the limit of the permitted range
and that the 90-day use-by period for the test strip drum has expired.
