Step 3: Code the Meter.

While the meter displays code--, or after the word insert is displayed, press and release the C button; the code

MC

number will appear. Continue pressing

the C button until the number on the

display matches the code number on the test strip vial. The code number is now set for the test strips you are using. The meter will remember this code number until you change it. You are now ready to do a test.

Checking the System

There are two ways to check that your OneTouch® Basic® System is working properly. The check strip is used to check that the meter is operating properly. OneTouch® Normal Control Solution is used to check that both the meter and the test strips are working together as a system, and that you are doing the test correctly. It is very important that you do these simple checks routinely for accurate results.
