Caring for Your Meter

Storage and Handling

Please refer to the test drum package insert for the
storage temperature for the test drums.
Protect the meter from extremes in temperature and
humidity (the amount of dampness in the air). Avoid
storing in rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms, and
laundry areas.
If the meter is dropped, perform a control check with
Accu-Chek Compact ™ Control Solutions before doing a
blood sugar test to ensure proper operation.
The Accu-Chek Compact ™ carrying case protects your
meter, keeps it free from dust, and stores supplies.

If the test drum is in the meter, follow the
temperature storage directions found in the test drum
package insert. When the batteries and test drum
are inserted, do not store the meter above +86° F
(+30° C). (See page 106.) At temperatures at or above
+122° F (+50° C), the batteries could leak and damage
the meter. Store the meter in a dry place to keep it in
good condition.
