5. Getting Started (Setup)

5.1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the meter.
2. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

5.2. Setting Date and Time

1. With the meter off, press and hold the Power Button (U) for 3 seconds to enter the setting mode.
2. The year will flash. Use the arrow buttons (^ / v) to adjust the year. Press the Power Button to confirm and move to the next setting.
3. Repeat this process for month, day, hour, and minute.
4. Once all settings are confirmed, the meter will exit the setting mode.

5.3. Preparing the Lancing Device

1. Unscrew the cap of the lancing device.
2. Insert a new sterile lancet firmly into the lancet holder.
3. Twist off the protective cap of the lancet.
4. Replace the lancing device cap.
5. Adjust the penetration depth by rotating the cap. Start with a lower setting (e.g., 2-3) and increase if needed to get a sufficient blood sample.
6. Pull back the cocking barrel until it clicks, indicating it is ready to use.

5.4. Preparing the Test Strip

1. Ensure your hands are clean and dry.
2. Remove a test strip from the vial. Immediately close the vial cap tightly to protect the remaining strips from moisture.
3. Insert the test strip into the test strip port of the meter in the direction of the arrows. The meter will turn on automatically and display a blood drop symbol, indicating it is ready for a blood sample.

6. Performing a Blood Glucose Test

1. Prepare the puncture site: Choose a clean, dry fingertip. You may massage the finger to increase blood flow.
2. Obtain a blood sample: Place the lancing device firmly against the prepared site and press the release button.
3. Form a blood drop: Gently squeeze the finger until a small, round drop of blood forms. Do not smear the blood.
4. Apply blood to the test strip: Touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The blood will be drawn into the strip automatically. Do not apply blood to the top of the strip.
5. Wait for results: The meter will begin counting down (10 seconds). After the countdown, your blood glucose result will appear on the display.
6. Interpret indicator lights: The meter features a light prompt system:
   • Red Light: Indicates blood sugar level is ≤3.9mmol/L (low blood sugar) or ≥13.9mmol/L (high blood sugar). Further diagnosis may be needed.
   • Green Light: Indicates blood sugar level is between 3.9mmol/L and 7mmol/L (normal blood sugar).
7. Dispose of used materials: Eject the used test strip using the strip ejection button. Dispose of the used lancet and test strip in a sharps container.
