Monitoring Blood Glucose

	Insert the three black lines at the end of the test strip into the meter’s strip slot until meter beeps.
	Make sure the code on the screen matches the code number on the test strip vial. If it does not, please do not use test strips and contact the Customer Service at 1866.890.8500
	When the flashing blood symbol appears the meter is ready for you to apply blood to the test strip.
	Before testing, wash your hands with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Use your lancing device to obtain a blood drop.
	Touch the blood drop to the front edge of the test strip sample channel. The blood is drawn into the test strip automatically. Continue to touch the blood drop at the edge of the test strip sample channel until you hear the beeper.
	After the beeper sound,  your blood test result will appear in 5 seconds. Discard the used test strip.
