Coding the Meter
Why are code numbers used?
Code numbers are used to calibrate the SmartScan®
Test Strip with the SmartScan™ Meter for accurate results.
You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then
every time you change to another vial of SmartScan™ Test Strips.
Check that the code number on the meter display matches the code number
on the test strip vial.

How
do I change the code on my SmartScan® Meter?
Step 1: Enter the Code Mode.
Start with the meter turned off. Insert a SmartScan®
Test Strip to turn on the meter. All segments of the display will
appear followed by the date and time. Next, the code number will appear

Compare the code numbers on the meter display with the code number
on the test strip vial. If the two code numbers match , you may
begin testing. If they do not match, follow Step 3. When you first
use the meter, three dashes (- - -) will appear, showing that there
is no code stored in the memory.
