Step 11
Apply the blood sample to the narrow
end of the test strip until you hear
a `beep'. At this time, the display
segments will rotate clockwise on the
meter display implying that the blood
sample is being inserted.
The test result will appear after the
meter counts down from 5 to 1. The
result will be automatically stored in the
meter’s memory.
If the test strip is removed after the test
result has been displayed, the meter will
automatically switch off after 3 seconds.
Discard used test strips safely in
appropriate containers.
Note:
The meter may switch off if the blood sample is not
applied within 2 minutes of the symbol appearing on the
screen. If the meter turns off, remove the strip and reinsert it
to switch on the meter.

Applying Blood Sample
Caution:
If “EP” blinks on the screen when a test strip is
inserted, check your strip expiration date. ("EP" only appears
when the setting of notifying expiration date feature is ON.
Please read page 17 or page 19 for further information on
setting strip expiration date.)
Step 10
After the symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood
sample to the narrow end of the test strip till the meter beeps.
If the confirmation window is not filled in time because of
abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufficient
volume, the Er4 message may appear.
It is recommended that the application of blood sample to the
test strip be performed virtually vertical to the sample site as
shown in the diagram below.
