These tips will help you keep it in
good operating condition:
CAUTION:
■
Do not get water inside the
meter.
■
Never immerse the meter or hold
it under running water.
■
Keep the test strip holder and test
area clean.
■
Keep your meter dry and avoid
exposing it to extremes in tempera-
ture or humidity. For example, do
not leave it in your car.
■
Do not drop the meter, as this
could damage the electronics. If
you drop the meter accidentally,
make sure the test strip holder is
still securely in place. Check the
meter by doing check strip and
control solution tests to be sure
your meter is working properly.
■
Do not take the meter apart. Sensi-
tive parts could be damaged, caus-
ing false results. Taking the meter
apart will void the warranty.
■
Do not clean the meter with alcohol.
Alcohol will damage the meter.
