01 SENSOR

These test strips need only 0.3 µL (microliter) of blood. Apply blood to the sample application tip. The strip draws in the blood by capillary action. The blood glucose reacts with the enzyme on the test strip. This produces a current proportional to the blood glucose level. The meter detects the current and converts it into a blood glucose reading.

Changing the Battery

The GLUCOCARD 01 blood glucose meter comes with one lithium battery CR2032 (or

DL2032).

• Touch the metal portion on main unit with your fingers or any metal.

• Take over 5 minutes to replace battery.

• Load the battery incorrectly.

• Load a used or weak battery.

NOTE:

• To save battery power, the meter turns itself off 3 – 5 minutes after last use.

• Replace batteries when low battery symbol appears. Otherwise

inaccurate results could be obtained.

• Discard used batteries as per local guidelines.
