The standard display test takes about two seconds.
 Check that all the elements shown in the illustration are properly displayed on your meter.
If any of the display elements are missing, please contact the Accu-Chek customer care
line. For instance, if you can see elements other than the numerals 888 on your display
(see a possible example in the illustration below), the meter will not be able to display your
test results.
 Wait until the flashing test strip symbol and blood drop symbol are displayed and the
meter beeps (provided the beep tone is turned on).
You now have approximately 5 minutes in which to apply blood. After this time the meter automatically turns itself off. If this
happens, press the Test button to eject the test strip. The strip can no longer be used. Start the blood glucose test again with a
new test strip.
Do not touch the test strip unless you are applying blood. Residues (e.g. of skin cream, food or drink) on the skin can
find their way onto the strip and may produce incorrect results. Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic
decision to be taken and so produce serious adverse health effects.
