3. To help you see the test strip port in reduced lighting, when
you
insert a test strip into the PDM, you can turn on the port
light. Press the middle Soft Key labeled Light. To turn the light
off, press Light again.
4. Wait for the PDM to display “Apply a blood sample to the
strip” on the screen (Figure 7-5 on the following page).
If you need to adjust the code number after the PDM
has moved to the next screen, just press the Up/Down
Controller buttons. The code screen reappears and you
can adjust the number.
The code number remains on the PDM screen for your
reference until you have completed the control test.

From some PDM screens, you cannot access the Free-
style® blood glucose meter. For example, you cannot
use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when
an alert, alarm or communication error screen is dis-
played. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the
PDM beeps to alert you.
The code number on the screen should match
the code number on the side of your test strip
vial (Figure 7-4 on previous page). They must
always match or your results will be inaccurate.
(See “Set the blood glucose test strip code” later
in this chapter.)
