TAKING CARE OF YOUR METER
To keep your One Touch™ Profile™ Blood Glucose Meter in good operating condition, follow these simple rules:
•Keep the test strip holder and test area clean.
•Keep your meter dry. If you acciden- tally get water or other liquids inside the meter, check the meter by doing check strip tests (see page 12) and control solution tests (see page 16) to be sure it is operating properly. Avoid exposing your meter to extremes in temperature or humidity. For exam- ple, do not leave it in your car.
•If you drop the meter make sure the test strip holder is still securely in
place. Check the meter by doing check strip and control solution tests to be sure your meter is working properly.
•Do not take the meter apart. Sensitive parts could be damaged, causing false results. Taking the meter apart will void the warranty.
•Do not clean the meter with alcohol, as this will damage the meter.
CAUTION:
•Do not get water inside the meter.
•Do not immerse the meter or hold if under running water.
