Each time you turn on the OneTouch ® Ultra ®
Meter either by inserting a test strip or
pressing the
button, all segments of the
display will appear briefly. This tells you that
the system is performing several self-checks to
confirm that the meter is working properly.
To check that all display segments are working, with the meter off, press the
button and immediately hold the button down.
C A U T I O N :
Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test
strip vial is essential to obtain accurate results. Each time you test,
check to make sure the code numbers match.
Coding the Meter
Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch ® Ultra ® Meter with
OneTouch ® Ultra ® Test Strips for accurate results. You must code the meter
before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another
vial of test strips. Each time you test, check to be sure that the code
number on the meter display matches the code number on the
test strip vial.
