1 Description of the meter

The meter is supplied with a lancing device docked onto it.

1.1 The front

Display and buttons

Hold the meter so that the lancing device is located to the right.The two

short ends of the meter have different contours.The smooth end (with-

out projections or depressions) should be pointing away from you.The

other end has a depression and a corner which is rounded off.This end

should be pointing towards you, so the rounded end and lancing device

are on the right.The display and buttons are on the top half of the meter.

In the centre of the meter is theTest button.This can be identified

through its curved ridge.To the left of theTest button is the M button

and to the right of theTest button is the S button.Above the buttons is

the display.

Drum compartment cover

Below the buttons is the drum compartment cover and, underneath it,

the drum compartment.The hinge attaching the drum compartment

cover to the meter is located below the buttons.At the lower end of the

drum compartment cover is a flat depression which continues around

onto the end of the meter nearest to you.

Test strip guide

Below the depression in the drum compartment cover, i.e.at the short

end of the meter nearest to you,is the test strip guide.This is where the

test strip will emerge.

Drum compartment

To the right of the test strip guide is a small projection that is part of the

drum compartment cover.By pulling this projection upwards, you can

open the drum compartment.When the drum compartment is open, a

button (the red drum release button) is situated at its lower right-hand

corner.

1.2 The back

Turn the meter over and lay it down face downwards so the lancing

device is now situated on the left.

Sliding button for undocking the lancing device

At the top left is an oval,ribbed button that slides towards you.This is

the sliding button that releases the lancing device.

Battery compartment

To the right of the sliding button is the battery compartment that

occupies approximately the upper half of the meter. Roughly at the

centre of the meter (i.e.at the lower end of the battery compartment

cover) is a ribbed surface.You push this forward to open the battery

compartment.

8Description of the meter 9

Description of the meter

1.3 The lancing device

When the buttons are facing upwards,the lancing device is located on

the right side of the meter.It is docked in a recess in the meter.The

shape of the lancing device is that of a fat ballpoint pen.At its lower

end,adjacent to the end of the meter with the test strip guide, is the

cap. Underneathe the cap is the lancet holder.The cap rotates and is

used to set the penetration depth. Just above the cap,inset into the

lancing device,is a semi-circular arch that has a light-coloured border.

This indicates the chosen penetration depth.The cap is removed to al-

low a new lancet to be inserted or to eject a used one.At the upper end

of the lancing device is the plunger,which is used to prime, trigger and

eject the lancet.

Undocking and docking the lancing device

씰Hold the meter so the back is facing upwards,with the lancing

device on the left.

씰Search for the ribbed sliding button at the top left corner of the

meter.

씰Slide this button downwards and hold it there.

This releases the lancing device.

씰Withdraw the lancing device by pulling it forward towards you.

The lancing device is not round like a ballpoint pen,but has four sides

that are different, and have rounded edges.On the two narrow sides of

the lancing device are two narrow grooves that start below the plunger

and run along the lancing device.Along the edges of the recess in the

meter into which the lancing device is docked are the corresponding

guides.These guides must engage with the grooves when the lancing

device is docked onto the meter.

Of the two broad sides one is flat and the other curved.When the

lancing device is docked onto the meter,the curved side faces

outwards.

씰Slide the lancing device from below,plunger first, into the recess.

The flat, broad side of the lancing device must be facing the meter

and be in contact with the walls of the recess.The guides then glide

into the grooves.The lancing device docks into place with an audi-

ble CLICK.

10 Turning on Acoustic Mode

Inserting or replacing batteries

2 Turning on Acoustic Mode

씰With the meter turned off,press the right-hand

button

(S button).

The meter turns on without advancing a test strip.

씰Press the left-hand Mbutton (M button) repeatedly until it beeps

and On2 flashes in the display.The acoustic mode is now turned on.

씰Press the middle button (Test button) to turn the meter off.

iYou cannot set a hypo warning if you have the acoustic mode

turned on (On2).This is to prevent it from being confused with

other beep tones.If you have already set a threshold, the hypo

warning is automatically turned off when you subsequently turn

acoustic mode on.

3 Inserting or replacing batteries

When the batteries are low,the meter emits three double beeps (2 short

beeps three times in quick succession) when you turn it on.

You can now perform about 50 more tests.Continue testing until all the

test strips in your current test strip drum have been used up.Then re-

place the batteries and the test strip drum.

씰If the meter is on,press the middle button (Test button) to turn

it off.

씰Hold the meter so the back is facing upwards,with the lancing

device on the left.

The battery compartment is located at the top right and extends to

approximately the middle of the meter.At the lower end of the battery

compartment cover is a ribbed area.

씰Push the ribbed area forward as far as it will go (about 3 mm).

씰This unlocks the battery compartment and you can remove the

cover.

You may turn the meter over if you wish,so the battery compart-

ment cover drops off.Turn the meter over again so the battery

compartment is again at the top right.

씰Remove the used batteries.

12 Inserting or replacing batteries 13

Inserting or replacing batteries

씰Insert new batteries.

Ensure that the flat, smooth end of the right-hand battery (minus

end) is pointing downwards and the end with the rounded projection

(plus end) is pointing upwards.The left-hand battery must be insert-

ed the other way round,with the smooth, flat end pointing upwards

and the end with the rounded projection pointing downwards.

씰Place the battery compartment cover loosely back on the battery

compartment.

The battery compartment cover has slots along three edges of the

battery compartment.The three prongs projecting from the cover

must engage in the slots.The battery compartment cover is properly

located over the battery compartment when the cover is loosely

attached and is lying flush with the back of the meter.

씰Slide the battery compartment cover downwards towards you. It

locks with an audible CLICK.

iWhen you replace the batteries, the year,time and date settings

only remain saved as long as

you do not take longer than two minutes to change the

batteries,

you do not press any button while there are no batteries in

the meter and

you do not open the drum compartment while there are no

batteries inserted.

After replacing the batteries, therefore,ask a sighted person to check

and,if necessary,adjust the settings.

If the year,time and date are not correctly entered,your future results

will be displayed and saved without the time and date, in which case

they will be sequentially numbered instead.Statistical calculations (e.g.

of average values) and downloading of results to a computer can only

be performed for results that have been saved together with the year,

time and date.

14 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum 15

Inserting or replacing the test strip drum

4 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum

The test strip drum is a short cylinder that resembles a full spool of

thread.One end of the test strip drum has a hole in the middle, the other

end has a central,ring-shaped ridge.With the exception of the hole and

the ridge,both ends of the drum are sealed with aluminium foil. On a

new test strip drum this foil must be smooth,a sign that it is undam-

aged.

씰Hold the meter so the buttons and the display screen are facing up-

wards with the test strip guide pointing towards you.

To the right of the test strip guide is a small projection that is part of the

drum compartment cover.

씰Lift the projection upwards to open the drum compartment cover.

씰Fold the drum compartment cover up as far as it will go.

The drum compartment is a rectangular chamber.At the lower, right-

hand corner of this chamber is a red button,the drum release button.

씰Press the red button.

If there is a test strip drum in the meter:

씰Keeping hold of the drum compartment cover turn over the meter so

the drum compartment is pointing downwards.

The test strip drum drops out.

씰Turn the meter back over so that the buttons are facing up.

씰Take a new test strip drum from its container.

씰Place the test strip drum in the drum compartment.

Ensure that the end with the ring-shaped ridge is pointing in the di-

rection of the test strip guide.The lower edge of the test drum com-

partment has a rectangular groove at its centre into which the ridge

of the drum fits.When inserting the test strip drum, hold it so the

two aluminium ends are vertical and the cylindrical body is parallel

to the sides of the drum compartment.

The test strip drum will only fit into the drum compartment when it

is correctly aligned.

씰Fold the drum compartment cover down and press it closed.

It locks with an audible CLICK.

The meter will rotate the test strip drum in order to read the barcode.

You will hear the motor running.The meter then turns itself off.

Preparing the lancing device

5 Preparing the lancing device

When the lancing device is docked onto the meter,the cap is at the end

of the meter where the test strip guide is also located.At the upper end

of the lancing device is the plunger which is used to prime,trigger and

eject the lancet.

씰Pull the cap off downwards and remove it from the lancing device.

Beneath the cap is a narrow cylinder,the lancet holder.

If there is a lancet in the lancing device,only the lancet needle

protrudes from the lancet holder.To avoid injuring yourself, do not

grasp the lancet holder from the front.

If there is a lancet in the lancing device:

씰Hold the lancing device upright above a waste bin.

씰Press the plunger in as far as it will go.

The lancet drops out.

If the lancet does not drop out,a sighted person must remove it. For de-

tails refer to the User’s Manual for the meter (chapter entitled“Ejecting

the used lancet”).

Make sure the lancet has dropped out.Inadvertently leaving the

lancet in the lancing device may result in personal injury.

The lancet is a small rectangle with a flat and a rounded end.The

rounded end is the protective cap that is attached to the lancet needle.

씰Slide a new lancet,flat end first,into the lancing device as far as it

will go.When you hold the meter horizontally,a narrow side of the

lancet (no matter which) must be facing upwards.

The lancet will snap into place with an audible CLICK.

씰Twist off the rounded end to expose the lancet needle.

씰Press the cap back onto the lancing device.

There is only one position in which the cap can be properly attached

to the lancing device.To find it, lightly hold the cap against the lanc-

ing device and rotate it until you notice the cap slide over the lancet

holder.Press the cap on tight.The cap is properly fitted when it

locks into place with an audible CLICK.
