4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to perform a blood glucose test:
- Insert Test Strip: Insert a test strip face-up into the designated slot on your SD CodeFree Blood Glucose Monitor. The meter will automatically turn on.

- Apply Blood: Gently touch and hold the drop of blood to the edge of the test strip until the yellow window on the strip is completely filled with blood. The strip will automatically draw the blood into the reaction area.
- Read Result: The meter will display your blood glucose result after a short countdown.
- Dispose: Safely dispose of the used test strip and lancet according to local regulations.
