Step 11

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 is 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 

after switching on the meter.

Good Sample

Insufficient 

Sample

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.

Step 9

Obtain a blood sample using the 

lancing device. Place the device against 

the pad of the finger as shown in the 

diagram. Press the release button. 

Remove the device from the finger. Wait 

a few seconds for a blood drop to form. 

A minimum volume of 0.5 microliter is 

needed to fill the confirmation window. 

(actual size of 0.5 μL:    )

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 18 or page 41 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.
