How to do a control solution test:
Note: You cannot perform a control solution test until you have set up the meter completely (see pages
STEP 1
Insert Test Strip.
Insert a 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) is followed by
the 
symbol. Be sure the code number on the display matches the code number on the test strip vial. If the code numbers do not match, code the meter correctly.
When the 
symbol appears on the dis- play, press and hold the C button until “ctl” appears. With the “ctl” sign on the display, the meter will mark your next test in memory as a control solution test.
