General care
Accessory box
Meter Dispose of the meter in accordance with applicable laws
and regulations. See “Disposal of the system” on page 20.
Power off meter When you power off the meter by pressing the On/Off
button briefly (less than a second) or the meter
powers off automatically (see below), the screen goes
blank. However, the meter is in standby mode and contin-
ues to draw power from the battery pack to maintain
date/time and run various functions in the background
such as wireless communication.
Automatic power-off
■ Unless otherwise configured, the system automati-
cally powers off and goes into standby mode to
save power after 5 minutes of inactivity (e.g., no
screen touches, strip insertions).
■ In measurement mode only: If you are performing a
test (patient, control, proficiency, or linearity), the
meter will power off after 10 minutes of inactivity
(no screen touches), independently of configured
automatic power-off time. If a result is already pres-
ent, the meter will emit three warning beeps every
minute after 5 minutes of inactivity and will save the
result before powering off after 10 minutes of inac-
tivity. The result will be flagged with a standard
comment (“Result not confirmed”) when it is trans-
mitted to the DMS.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the system, use only solutions recom-
mended to clean and disinfect the system. Using other
solutions ma
y result in incorrect operation and possible
failure of the system.
NOTICE
Carry the accessory box carefully by the handle for easy
transpor
t. Dropping or hitting the box may damage it.
