the test device is inserted into the port and the device spot code is read. (Figure 5-22). Position the
barcode of the test device pouch in front of the bar code scanner on the left side of the instrument
so that the bar code on the bottom edge of the pouch lines up with the scanner window. Move the
pouch both towards and away from the red barcode light. An audible beep will be heard when the
instrument reads the information. Press the Retry key if you are unable to scan the bar code the
first time.
