Lifescan OneTouch Ultra manual Before Testing, Checking the Display, Coding the Meter

BEFORE TESTING

Checking the Display

Each time you turn on the OneTouch® Ultra® Meter either by inserting a test strip or pressing the M button, all segments of the display will appear briefly. This tells you that the system is performing several self-checks to confirm that the meter is working properly. To check that all display segments are working, hold the C button down.

Coding the Meter

Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch® Ultra® Meter with OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips for accurate results. You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of test strips. Each time you test, check to be sure that the code number on the meter display matches the code number on the test strip vial.

CAUTION: Failure to code the meter correctly will cause inaccurate test results.
