Test result announcement after a test
In the acoustic mode, when a test result is displayed following a blood glucose test, the meter also
announces it as a series of beeps. The test result is not announced as an entity, but is broken down into
individual digits.
Examples:
The test result 7.6mmol/L is announced as 0 – 7 – decimal point – 6.
Each digit is represented by the corresponding number of beep tones, for example, 4 beep tones for the
number 4 (
). Zero is represented by 1 long beep tone ( ).
The decimal point of a test result is announced by 1 very short beep tone (
).
