3. Press the ACT button, and the glucose value (dashes) will blink. Use the Up or Down arrow buttons
to scroll through the values until the right one is displayed in increments of 1 mg/dl or 0.1 mmol/l.
Holding down either button will scroll faster through the list of values. The METER BG feature lets you
enter values from 20 to 600 mg/dl (1.1 to 33.1 mmol/l). However, only values between
40-400 mg/dl (2.2-22.2 mmol/l) are used for calibration.
NOTE - The METER BG screen will display the last value programmed. But when ACT is pressed, the
scrolling will start at “---” and the screen will read ENTER BG. If the Up or Down arrow is
pressed, the next value scrolled to is 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l). If ACT is pressed when “---” is
displayed, no value is entered.
4. Press the ACT button to save the right value. The Monitor will run a calibration and sensitivity check
using the Meter BG value entered and the Sensor value that corresponds in time. Calibration occurs 10
to 15 minutes from the time of entering the fingerstick glucose reading.
5. The HOME screen will appear.
NOTE - The Monitor will not use values between 20-39 mg/dl (1.1-2.2 mmol/l) and 401-600 mg/dl
(22.2-33.3 mmol/l) for calibration. These values will be displayed and saved for informational
purposes only. BE SURE TO TREAT LOW AND HIGH CONDITIONS PER THE ADVICE OF YOUR
DOCTOR. Also, when a value in the 40-400 mg/dl (2.2-22.2 mmol/l) range is displayed, ENTER BG
will appear below it. When a value in the 20-39 mg/dl (1.1-2.2 mmol/l) or 401-600 mg/dl (22.2-33.3
mmol/l) ranges is displayed, NO CAL will appear below it.
NOTE - Every time you change your Sensor, a fingerstick glucose reading must be entered into the
METER BG screen. A fingerstick glucose reading should be entered every 6 hours, however, a
minimum of one meter reading must be entered every 12 hours. More frequent daily readings will
optimize the accuracy of the Sensor glucose readings. If you have not entered a reading into the
METER BG screen in 12 hours, a C78 (ENTER BG) alarm will be triggered. This alarm is also
triggered if a calibration has not been done in the last 8 hours since the first calibration.
