BEFORE TESTING

Checking the Display

Each time you turn the meter on, the display background will quickly change from dark to light and form the words “OneTouch UltraSmart.” This tells you that the system is

performing several self-checks to confirm

that the meter is working properly. If, at any UltraSmart time during the life of the meter, these

graphics appear to be different, call your local LifeScan Customer Service office. See back cover for contact information.

Setting the Meter

The OneTouch® UltraSmart™ Meter is set at the factory to display results in the English language using millimole per litre (mmol/L) as the unit of measure. The time and date are also factory-set. If you are using the meter for the first time and simply wish to test, insert a test strip into the test port and begin by coding the meter. If you wish to change the date, time, or language, see Meter Set-up, pages 54–57. To customize your meter, see Custom Meter Set-up, pages 58–72.

Note: It is important that the time of day is correct and that your medication set up and mealtimes are set according to your personal daily schedule. Otherwise, some FastFacts™ information will not be correct.
