(Example)
If these messages appear, repeat the check strip test. If these messages appear again, clean your meter and repeat the test. If you do not obtain an acceptable (A o k) check strip reading, r e d o A will appear each time you turn on your meter, indi- cating that your last check strip test was outside of the check strip range printed on the back of the meter. This message will continue to appear until you perform a check strip test and get a reading that falls within the correct check strip range.
CAUTION: If your check strip test result is out of range, your meter may not be working prop- erly. Do not use the meter to test your blood until you get a check strip reading that is within the correct range printed on the back of the meter. For assistance, call your authorized LifeScan representative.
To clean and maintain the check strip:
■Make sure both sides of the check strip are clean. If necessary, wipe the check strip with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water. Dry it completely.
■Do not get blood, alcohol, control solution, or any other fluid (except water) on the check strip.
