Symbols

The following symbols appear on the meter display to help guide you through the testing process. If they occur during testing, they may indicate problems.

SYMBOL WHAT IT MEANS WHAT TO DO

Insert Test Firmly push the test strip into the test strip holder, with the

Strip tapered-end first and the confirmation dot facing down, until it stops. If you fail to completely insert the test strip, the test may start. However, you may receive an inaccurately low result.

Remove Remove the test strip from the meter. If white patches or streaks Test Strip appear on the confirmation dot, you have not applied enough blood

to obtain an accurate test. You must start over with a new test strip. When the “Insert Test Strip” symbol appears on the display, insert the test strip. Push it firmly and more slowly into the test strip holder until it stops.

Note: It is possible to push the test strip into the test strip holder too fast. If this happens, the meter displays the “Remove Test Strip” symbol.
