6. Pull out the dark gray cocking handle until it clicks (Figure 7-
15
on the previous page). (You may have already cocked the
handle in step 2. This is okay.)
You are now ready to perform a blood glucose test.
Insert the blood glucose test strip
1. Insert a new blood glucose test strip into the test strip port
until it stops. The test strip port is at the bottom of the PDM.
2. To help you see the test strip port in reduced lighting, press
the middle soft key labeled Light. To turn the light off, press
Light again.
3. Insert only the top end of the strip into the test strip port (Fig-
ure 7-16 and Figure 7-17).
From some PDM screens, you cannot access the Free-
Style® blood glucose meter. For example, you cannot
use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when
an alert, alarm or communication error screen is dis-
played. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the
PDM beeps to alert you.
If you do not start the test within 2 minutes, the PDM
powers off. To restart the PDM, take out the unused strip
and reinsert it, or simply press and hold the Power but-
ton to turn on the PDM. Refer to page 54 to check Pod
status and to Confirm ID.
