TAKING CARE OF YOUR METER
METER CARE
Your ONE TOUCH® Profile® Blood Glucose Meter is easy to maintain. These tips will help you keep it in good operating condition:
CAUTION:
■Do not get water inside the meter.
■Never immerse the meter or hold it under running water.
■Keep the test strip holder and test area clean.
■Keep your meter dry and avoid exposing it to extremes in tempera- ture or humidity. For example, do not leave it in your car.
■Do not drop the meter, as this could damage the electronics. If you drop the meter accidentally, 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. Sensi- tive parts could be damaged, caus- ing false results. Taking the meter apart will void the warranty.
■Do not clean the meter with alcohol. Alcohol will damage the meter.
