4. Insert the lancet into the lancing device until it clicks.
   
5. Twist off the lancet's protective cover.
   
6. Replace the cap on the lancing device. Make sure the notch on the cap lines up with the notch on the lancing device.
   
7. Adjust the lancet depth to a comfortable penetration level. Start at 2. For tougher skin, dial to a higher number.
   
8. Press the priming button in as far as it will go, like a pen. Do not press the release button while pressing the priming button. The release button turns yellow when the lancing device is ready.

Performing a Blood Glucose Test

2. Check the Use By date on the test strip container. Do not use test strips past the Use By date.
   
3. Remove a test strip from the test strip container. Close the cap tightly.
   
4. Insert the test strip into the meter in the direction of the arrows until the meter beeps.
   A flashing blood drop symbol appears.
   
5. Hold the lancing device firmly against the edge of your fingertip and press the yellow release button to prick your finger.
   
6. Touch the end of the test strip to the blood drop. Do not put blood on top of the test strip.
   The meter beeps and flashes when there is enough blood in the test strip.
   The test result appears on the display after 5 seconds.
   

Before you finish
Remove the lancing device cap. Point the lancet away from you. Slide out the ejector to release the lancet.

Error Messages

If any of the error messages below appear on the display at any time, refer immediately to the Owner's Booklet, Chapter 7, Display and Error Messages.

E-1

The test strip may be damaged or not properly inserted. Remove and reinsert the test strip, or replace it if damaged.

E-3

Your blood glucose may be extremely high or a meter or a test strip error has occurred. If your test result matches how you feel, contact your healthcare professional immediately. If your test result does not match how you feel, repeat the blood glucose test. See the Owner's Booklet, Chapter 4, Unusual Blood Glucose Results. If the E-3 code still appears for your blood glucose test, your blood glucose result may be extremely high and above the system's reading range. Contact your healthcare professional immediately. If the second test result does not match how you feel, perform a control test with the control solution and a new test strip. If the control result is within the acceptable range, review the proper testing procedure and repeat the blood glucose test with a new test strip. If the control result is not within the acceptable range, see the Owner's Booklet, Chapter 2, Understanding Out-of-Range Control Results.

E-4

Not enough blood or control solution was drawn into the test strip for measurement or was applied after the test had started. Discard the test strip and repeat the blood glucose or control test.

E-6

Blood or control solution was applied to the test strip before the flashing drop symbol appeared on the display. Discard the test strip and repeat the blood glucose or control test.

E-7

An electronic error occurred, or in rare cases, a used test strip was removed and reinserted. Turn the meter off and on, or take the battery out for 20 seconds and reinsert it. Perform a blood glucose or control test.

E-8

The temperature is above or below the proper range for the system. Refer to the test strip package insert for system operating conditions. Move to an area with the appropriate conditions, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the blood glucose or control test. Do not artificially heat or cool the meter.
