check will

appear. Then the code

is displayed for

three seconds.

 

The first time you use the meter, three dashes Qwill flash, meaning that there is no code stored in the memory. Follow Step 3 to code the meter. If three dashes appear any other time, see page 50 of Display Messages and Problem-Solving Guide.

STEP 2

Match the Code Numbers.

Compare the code number on the meter

display with the code number on the test strip vial. If the two code numbers match,

you may begin testing. If they do not match, follow Step 3.

CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to obtain accurate results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match.
