Introduction Your Meter Features
Your Meter Features:
Easy: The CONTOUR blood glucose monitoring system is
about simplicity. You will notice its uncomplicated approach
the first time you see it. Simple things like the use of three
large buttons and a clear display are sure to make this your
favorite meter right from the start.
Automatic: You no longer have to worry about coding* your
meter or marking a control test result. The CONTOUR meter
does it automatically. It will even tell you when a test strip is
under-filled.
Programmed: Your CONTOUR meter has been preset at
the factory with the standard date, time, and units of mea-
sure (mg/dL) used where you purchased your meter. To
change these settings or use advanced meter features, such
as meal markers or post-meal test alarm, read through the
Additional Features section of your user guide.
Customizable: The CONTOUR meter allows you to set
personal choices for some features. For more information,
please see pages 14–19.
*Your CONTOUR meter is designed with No Coding™ tech-
nology, so the meter codes itself every time you insert a test
strip. This means you do not have to worry about getting
inaccurate results due to miscoding or forgetting to code
your meter.
