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).

5. Remove the vial cap and place it on a flat surface with 

the top of the cap pointing up. Squeeze the vial to dis-
card the first drop. Then, wipe both the tip of the control 
solution vial and the top of the cap with a clean, damp 
tissue or cloth. Next, squeeze a drop into the small well 
on the top of the cap or onto another clean, non-absor-
bent surface. 

6. Gently touch only ONE SIDE of the test strip to the control 

solution drop. Specifically, apply the control solution to the 
test strip side next to the gold metallic channel (Figure 7-6 on the previous page). If BG sound is set to On, the PDM beeps 
when the test strip is full.
If you do not apply the sample within 10 seconds, the strip 
port light turns off. To turn it on again, press Light.

The Countdown Screen appears while the sample is process-

ing (Figure 7-7). The strip port light turns off when the sample 
is accepted.

Do not apply control solution to both sides of the test 
strip.
