BEFORE TESTING
Checking the Meter Display
Each time you turn the meter on, the
display background will quickly change
from dark to light and form the words
“OneTouch UltraSmart”. This tells you
that the system is performing several
self-checks to confirm that the meter is
working properly. If, at any time during
the life of the meter, these graphics
appear to be different, call LifeScan
Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862.
Setting the Meter
The OneTouch
®
UltraSmart
®
Meter is set at the
factory to display results in the English language
using milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) as the unit of
measure. The time and date are also factory-set in
Pacific Standard Time. If you are using the meter for
the first time and simply wish to test, insert a test
strip into the test port and begin by coding the meter.
If you wish to change the date, time, or language, see
Meter Set-up, pages 58–61. To customize your meter,
see Custom Meter Set-up Sequence, pages 62–76.
