Coding Your Meter:
1. Check the code on the test strip vial before inserting the test strip
- Code numbers are used to calibrate your meter with the test strips you are using.
- Your OneTouch® meter is now pre-set to Code 25
- In order to make the setup of your meter simpler, your new OneTouch® meter has been factory pre-set to Code 25. This has been done because the OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strip is available in one convenient code: 25.
2. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter
- Remove a test strip from its vial. With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere on its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test strips in any way. Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
- Insert the test strip into the test port as shown, with the three contact bars facing you.
- Push the test strip in as far as it will go.
- After the black start-up screen appears, the meter will display the code from your last test. If this is the first time you are using the meter, the code number will be set to 25.
3. Match the code on the meter with the code on the test strip vial
- If the code on the meter does not match the code on the test strip vial, press ↑ or ↓ to match the code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will flash on the display for three seconds, then briefly stop flashing, after which the display will advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen.
- If the codes already match, press OK to go to the APPLY BLOOD screen. When you do not make a change after five seconds, the display will advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen. The meter is now ready to perform a blood glucose test.
- NOTE:
- If the APPLY BLOOD screen appears before you are sure the codes match, remove the test strip, and re-start from Step 1.
- If you change APPLY BLOOD to APPLY CONTROL by mistake, press ↓ to change it back to APPLY BLOOD.
- CAUTION:
- Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to obtaining accurate results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match.
