When the meter is being used in Acoustic Mode without the support of the voice unit, the guiding principle must be:
Persons with vision loss need a sighted person to instruct them in the use of the meter and to assist them with all
aspects of its operation.
The meter must be set up by a sighted person.
19.1 Announcement of the results as beeps
Numbers are announced through a corresponding number of short beeps, e.g. four short beeps signify the numeral 4.
Zero is represented by a long beep.
Results larger than 33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL) are represented as 999, i.e. as three groups of nine short beeps with pauses
between the groups.
Results smaller than 0.6 mmol/L (10 mg/dL) are represented as 000, i.e. three long beeps.
mmol/L meters
Following two short beeps signifying the end of measurement the meter announces the result – tens first, then units, then the
decimal point as a very short beep, and finally the tenths. There is a short pause between each group of beeps.
The result 13.8 mmol/L is announced as follows:
one short beep – pause – three short beeps – pause – one very short beep – pause – eight short beeps.
The result 4.0 mmol/L is announced as follows:
one long beep (for 0 tens) – pause – four short beeps – pause – one very short beep – pause – one long beep.
The results are repeated twice. A double beep precedes each repetition.
