Step-by-Step Test Procedure

Note: You cannot perform a blood glucose test until you have set up the meter completely.

STEP 1

Insert Test Strip.

Insert the test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. (Contact bars must be inserted all the way into the meter or you may get an inaccurate test result.) The meter will turn on automati- cally. All segments will appear briefly on the display followed by the date and time.

Then “code 12” (example) and the sym- bol will appear. Make sure the code num- ber on the display matches the code num- ber on the vial of PocketScan™ Test Strips you are using. If the code numbers do not match, code the meter.
