First Time Setup:
Before using your meter for the first time, you should check to make sure the pre-set language, time and date in the meter are correct. This ensures that the correct time and date are assigned to each of your test results.
Your low and high range limits are used by your meter to:
Tell you when a test result is within, below or above the range limits set in the meter
Provide messages that let you know:
When you should treat a low blood glucose result.
Your progress staying within your blood glucose range.
When you have developed a pattern of blood glucose results below the low limit or above the high limit set in the meter.
NOTE: The low and high range limits you set apply to all glucose test results. This includes tests taken before or after mealtimes, medications and around any other activities that may affect your blood glucose.
CAUTION: Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional about the low and high range limits that are right for you. When selecting or changing your limits, you should consider factors such as your lifestyle and diabetes therapy. Never make significant changes to your diabetes care plan without consulting your healthcare professional.
The meter is pre-set with a low limit of 70 mg/dL and a high limit of 180 mg/dL.
If the low and high range limits are correct, pressOK to save.
