Checking Your Blood Glucose
From some PDM screens, you cannot access the
FreeStyle® blood glucose meter. For example, you
cannot use the meter while you are activating a Pod
or when an alert, alarm or communication error
screen is displayed. In these cases, if you insert a test
strip, the PDM beeps to alert you.
2. To help you see the test strip port in reduced lighting, press
the middle soft key labeled Light. To turn the light off, press
Light again.
3. Insert only the top end of the strip into the test strip port
(Figure 7-16 and Figure 7-17).

If you do not start the test within 2 minutes, the PDM
powers off. To restart the PDM, take out the unused strip
and reinsert it, or simply press and hold the Power
button to turn on the PDM. Refer to page 55 to check
Pod status and to Confirm ID.

Set the blood glucose test strip code

After you insert the strip, the PDM displays a code number
(Figure 7-18). This number must match the code on the side of
the vial.
