5. Gently touch only ONE EDGE of the test strip to the control
solution. Specifically, apply the control solution to the test
strip edge next to one of the dark-colored half-circles
(Figure 7-6). 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 "Checking" screen appears while the sample is processing
(Figure 7-7). The strip port light turns off when the sample is
accepted.

Do not apply control solution to both edges of the
test strip.
If BG sound is set to On, the PDM beeps twice. The result
appears on the screen.
6. To mark the result as a control solution result rather than a
blood glucose test:
a. Press Tag.
b. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to select Control
(Figure 7-8), then press Select. You can select a second tag
for the test result in the same way.
