TAKING CARE OF
YOUR METER
Your ONE TOUCH

Plus
Meter is easy to maintain. These tips
will help you keep it in good
operating condition:
■
Keep the test strip holder and test
area clean (see page 60).
■
Keep your meter dry and avoid
exposing it to extremes in tempera-
ture or humidity. For example, do
not leave it in your car.
■
Do not drop the meter or get it wet,
as this could damage the electron-
ics. If you drop the meter or get it
wet accidentally, make sure the test
strip holder is still securely in
place. If you drop the meter or get
it wet, check the meter by doing
check strip tests (see page 12) and
control solution tests (see page 15)
to be sure it is operating properly.
■
Do not take the meter apart. Sensi-
tive parts could be damaged, caus-
ing inaccurate results. Taking the
meter apart will void the warranty.
■
Do not clean the meter with
alcohol. Alcohol will damage the
meter.
CAUTION:
■
Do not get water or other
liquids inside the meter.
■
Never immerse the meter or
hold it under running water
or other liquids.
