Test Strip Count
Each time you press   to turn the meter off, the number of test strips remaining in the drum is 
displayed. The number of remaining test strips is displayed as long as you hold down 
. 
In this example, there are 12 test strips in the drum. 
Notes:
• After a test, if the drum has three or fewer test strips remaining, the number, the test strip symbol 
and drum symbol flash on the display window.
• If you press   only briefly when turning the meter off, the number of test strips remaining is 
displayed only briefly or not at all.
• If you have not performed a test since last replacing the drum, the meter cannot tell how many test 
strips remain. The meter displays 
 instead of the number of test strips remaining. Once you 
perform a test with a new drum, the number of test strips remaining is displayed when you press 
 to turn the meter off.
When you release 
, the meter turns off.
