Testing and storage conditions

15 

Make sure that the conditions listed on the following 

pages are met, so that the meter and lancing device 

work reliably and you obtain accurate results.

15.1  Temperature and humidity

Without

 batteries and 

without

 a test cassette, the 

meter should be stored at between -25 and +70 °C.

With

 batteries and 

without

 a test cassette, the 

meter should be stored at between -10 and +50 °C.

  At temperatures above +50 °C, the batteries 

could leak and damage the meter.

  At temperatures below -10 °C, the batteries 

do not have enough power to keep the 

internal clock functioning.

With

 batteries and 

with

 a test cassette, the meter 

should be stored at between +2 and +30 °C.

Store the meter in a place with a relative humidity 

between 15 and 93 %.

The temperature and humidity conditions under 

which the meter can operate are +10 to 32 °C at  

15 to 85 % relative humidity, including the following 

exteme conditions: +32 °C at 85 % relative humidity 

and +40 °C at 45 % relative humidity.

  Sudden changes in temperature can cause 

condensation to form in or on the meter. If this 

happens, do not turn the meter on. Make sure 

that it returns to ambient temperature slowly. 

Never store the meter in a room that is likely to 

harbour condensation (e.g. bathroom). 

If the temperature is between +8 and +10 °C or 

between +40 and +42 °C, the meter will still allow 

you to perform a test. However, the following warn-

ing will appear (see also Chapter 16.2).
