The Receiver displays your blood glucose results when the check is
complete . If Progress Tones are on, you also hear a chime-like Progress
Tone when results appear .
This screen displays your blood glucose result . Press Home to return to
the Home screen .
Note: Measurements are accurate between 5 ° to 40 °C (40 ° to 104 °F). If the
temperature is out of range, the Receiver displays the symbol with your
glucose reading.
Discard the test strip and lancet
• Test strips may be used only once . Discard used test strips in a
sealable container such as a sharps container to avoid contact with
biohazards .
Your blood glucose results
Work with your healthcare team to determine the low and high values
for your blood glucose target range . If you get results below or above
your target range and do NOT have symptoms of hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia, repeat the test . If you have symptoms or continue to
get results that are low or high, follow the treatment recommended by
your healthcare team .
CAUTION: Low or high glucose readings can indicate a potentially
serious medical condition .
If Low appears on your Receiver, your result is lower than 20 mg/dL
(1 .1 mmol/L) . If you have symptoms of low blood glucose (for
example: weakness, sweating, nervousness, headache or confusion),
follow your healthcare team’s recommendations for
treating severe hypoglycaemia . If you do not have
any symptoms, wash and dry your hands and repeat
the blood glucose check on your finger with a new
test strip . If you receive a second Low result, follow
your healthcare team’s recommendations for
treating severe hypoglycaemia .
If High appears on your Receiver, your result is higher than 500 mg/dL
(27 .8 mmol/L) . If you have symptoms of high blood glucose (for
example: fatigue, thirst, excess urination or blurry
vision), follow your healthcare team’s
recommendations for treating hyperglycaemia . If
you do not have any symptoms, wash and dry your
hands and repeat the blood glucose check on your
finger with a new test strip . If you receive a second
High result, follow your healthcare team’s
recommendations for treating severe
hyperglycaemia .

Notes:
• Use a new sterile lancet each time. NEVER use a lancet or lancing
device for more than one person.
• Follow instructions for your lancing device.
Apply blood sample and wait for results
1. Gently apply blood to ONLY ONE
sample area of the test strip . Only a
very tiny drop of blood is needed .
Note: Do NOT apply blood to both
sample areas of the test strip. If this
happens, discard the test strip.
2. Watch the Receiver Display . When enough blood is applied, the
Receiver shows a circle of 4 arrows
while it measures the blood
glucose . If Progress Tones are on, you also
hear a two-note Progress Tone .
Note: If needed, you have up to 60 seconds
to add blood to the same sample area of the
test strip.

Calibrating
Calibrating is the process the FreeStyle Navigator II System uses to
match your interstitial fluid glucose readings with your blood glucose
readings . You need to calibrate the system by checking your blood
glucose at approximately 1, 2, 10, 24 and 72 hours after Sensor
insertion .
• When the system is ready to be calibrated, it
prompts you to “Check your BG to calibrate”
and emits an audible alarm based on your
settings . You will also see a blood drop
icon on the Home screen . To calibrate the
system, perform a blood glucose check .
Note: If your system alarms are turned off, you
will not see the “Check your BG to calibrate”
screen or hear audible alarms.
• See the Expert Guide for more information
on performing and troubleshooting
calibrations .
• There is a time window in which each
calibration needs to be completed called a
grace period . If you do not calibrate before
the grace period ends, the continuous
glucose results are no longer displayed and the glucose alarms
become inactive . Your Sensor remains active . If you missed the grace
period, simply perform a blood glucose check at any time you see
the blood drop icon to continue the calibration process; this
resumes continuous glucose monitoring .
