Gently touch only one edge of the test

strip to the control solution.

Specifically, apply the control solution to the test strip edge next to one of the dark-colored half-circles.

If the sound prompt is on, your meter beeps once when the test strip is full.

A short line then moves clockwise

around the display screen while the sample is being processed. Important: Do not apply control solution to both edges of test strip. If the sound prompt is on, your meter beeps twice and the result appears on the display screen in about 7 seconds. To mark the result as a control solution result, press and hold the “c” button on the FreeStyle Flash™ Meter for two seconds.

Wait for the control solution symbol () to appear on the display screen.

If you have marked a test as a control solution test by mistake, you can unmark it by pressing and holding the “c” button again for two seconds.

Pressing the “m” button for two seconds saves the test result and allows you to enter the meter memory.
