Lifescan ONE TOUCH BASIC BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM - Manual (Page 60)

8. TAKING CARE OF THE
METER
Your ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® Meter
is simple to use and easy to main-
tain. However, it must be handled
carefully and cleaned regularly to
remain in good operating condition.
You should follow these rules at all
times:
■ Keep the Test Strip Holder and
Test Area clean.
■ Do not drop or toss the Meter.
The Meter’s electronics could be
damaged by such treatment. If you
drop the Meter, make sure the Test
Strip Holder is still securely in
place and check the Meter with
the Check Strip before doing a
blood glucose test.
■ Avoid exposing the Meter or Test
Strips to extremes in temperature
or humidity for long periods of
time. For example, do not store the
Meter or Test Strips in your car.
■ Never let your Meter get wet. The
Meter could be permanently
damaged if water or other liquids
get inside.
