5. Gently touch only ONE EDGE of the test strip to the control
solution. Specifically, apply the control solution to the test
strip edge next to one of the dark-colored half-circles (Figure
7-7). If BG sound is set to On, the PDM beeps when the test
strip is full.
If you do not apply the sample within 10 seconds, the strip-
port light turns off. To turn it on again, press Light.
The “Checking” screen appears while the sample is process-
ing (Figure 7-8). The strip-port light turns off when the sam-
ple is accepted.
If BG sound is set to On, the PDM beeps twice. The result
appears on the screen in about 7 seconds, on average.
6. To mark the result as a control solution result rather than a
blood glucose test:
a. Press Ta g.
b. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to select Control
(Figure 7-9 on the next page), then press Select. You can
select a second tag for the test result in the same way.
