Entering the first meter blood glucose
You cannot enter a meter blood glucose (meter BG) measurement into your monitor until you receive a
METER BG NOW alert. If you enter a meter BG measurement before you receive this alert, it will not be
used by your system for a calibration.
Your monitor will show a METER BG NOW alert after the two-hour initialization period. This alert prompts
you to enter a meter BG reading into the monitor to calibrate the sensor. This calibration will be
successful only if the blood glucose entry is in the range of 40-400 mg/dL (2.2 to 22 mmol/L).
After you enter your first meter BG reading, you are ready to use your system. You must calibrate your
system regularly.
To enter the first meter blood glucose measurement:
1 Press ESC, then ACT to clear the METER BG NOW alert.
2 Check the sensor icon on the screen to make sure that the monitor and the transmitter are
communicating properly.
•
Communicating. Go to the next step and enter your first meter BG measurement.
•
Not communicating. Do not enter your first meter BG measurement. Check the following:
• The transmitter is connected correctly to the sensor.
• The sensor has been started.
• The monitor is not too far from the transmitter.
• If there is still no communication, see the Troubleshooting and alarms/alerts chapter for
information on how to restore the communication between the monitor and the transmitter.
3 Take a meter BG measurement. Immediately enter the meter BG measurement into your monitor
by following the rest of the steps in this procedure.
4 Open the ENTER BG screen.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Enter Meter BG
The ENTER BG screen shows three dashes.
5 Enter the number from your meter (the value on the screen must match your meter measurement).
Values below 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) or above 400 mg/dL (22.2 mmol/L) cannot be used for
calibration.
6 Press ACT. The system is calibrated.
