■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian
ICES-003.
The Accu-Chek Inform II system complies with both the
electromagnetic immunity requirements and radio inter-
ference immunity requirements at the frequency and test
levels according to ISO 15197.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) The Accu-Chek Inform II system complies with the elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD) immunity requirements as
specified in IEC 61326-2-6. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
is an electrical charge at rest, most commonly known as
static electricity. If the meter experiences ESD during a
blood glucose test, an error message is displayed and no
blood glucose result is displayed by the meter or stored in
the meter’s memory. The blood glucose test will need to
be repeated.
To avoid ESD, do not use the meter in a very dry environ-
ment, particularly one in which synthetic materials (e.g.,
carpets) are present that might cause damaging static
discharges.
If the Accu-Chek Inform II meter experiences a form of
ESD before or after running a blood glucose test, the
test result will be stored in the meter memory and trans-
mitted when the meter is docked in a connected base
unit or when a wireless connection is established.
