Note: There are three choices in test mode. For blood testing use the Arrow button 
to select:
•“Apply Blood” for fingertip blood sample or
•“Alternate Site” for arm blood sample
Do not use the Control Solution mode when testing blood.• “Control Solution” is for checking the system
“Apply Blood” will appear on the display first. If you are testing with a fingertip blood sample, proceed to Step 3.
If you are testing with a blood sample from the arm, use the Arrow button 
to scroll to “Alternate Site.”
Before you test with blood, make sure “Apply Blood” or “Alternate Site” is displayed on the screen. Correct test mode selection is important to ensure all blood and control solution tests are properly included or excluded from averages. Failure to select the correct test mode may cause blood averages to be incorrect.
