This message/symbol 
appears…
and means: 
You are requested to perform a quality 
control check in order to check the test 
strips. The meter has no way of telling 
when the drum was first inserted or how 
long the partly used drum has already 
been in the meter. Perform a quality 
control check (see Chapter 6, “Checking 
your meter”). If the measurement pro
-
duces a correct result, you may continue 
to use the test strips. If the result is in
-
correct, you need to insert a new drum. 
Following the quality control check, the 
bottle symbol disappears from the dis
-
play. The drum symbol continues to flash 
in order to draw attention to the fact that 
the meter cannot calculate the use-by 
period. The symbol only disappears 
when you insert a new drum. All results 
are saved along with a flashing drum 
symbol. If you do not perform a quality 
control check, the flashing bottle symbol 
appears with every test until you insert 
a new drum.

and means: 
  You inserted a partly used test strip 
drum.
  You opened the drum compartment.
  You took longer than two minutes 
to replace the batteries (the year, 
date and time settings are lost) and 
a partly used drum remained in the 
meter.
  You adopted the bar code from the 
preceding drum, as the bar code on 
the drum that is inserted is damaged 
(see error message 
E-2)
The meter cannot calculate the use-by 
period for this test strip drum.
You performed the requested quality 
control check (see explanation for the 
preceding display).
