Your ONE TOUCH
®
II Meter
is simple to use and easy to
maintain. However, like all
precision instruments it
must be handled carefully
and cleaned frequently to
remain in peak operating
condition. You should
observe these precautions
at all times.
ٗ
✔
Keep the Test Strip
Holder and Test Area clean.
Dirt, blood, or lint in these
areas will cause inaccurate
results. Do not use alcohol
to clean the Meter. Clean
the Meter regularly
according to the
instructions on the
following pages.
ٗ
✔
Carry the Meter in the
Carry Case at all times to
protect it and keep it clean.
ٗ
✔
Do not drop the Meter
or toss it casually onto a
table. The Meter’s elec-
tronics could be damaged
by such treatment. If you
drop the Meter, make sure
the Test Strip Holder is still
securely in place and check
the Meter with the Check
Strip before doing a blood
glucose test.
