Test Strip Count
Each time you press
to turn the meter off, the number of test strips remaining in the drum is displayed. The
number of remaining test strips is displayed as long as you hold down
.
In this example, there are 12 test strips in the drum.
Notes:
• After a test, if the drum has three or fewer test strips remaining, the number, test strip symbol, and drum
symbol flash on the display window.
• If you press
only briefly when turning the meter off, the number of test strips remaining is displayed only
briefly or not at all.
• If you have not performed a test since last replacing the drum, the meter cannot tell how many test strips
remain. The meter displays
instead of the number of test strips remaining. Once you perform a test
with a new drum, the number of test strips remaining is displayed when you press
to turn the meter off.
When you release
, the meter turns off.
