Reacting the Test Strip -
Follow this procedure for best results!
Remove a fresh strip from the bottle and reseal the bottle. Immerse the strip horizontally into the sample tray (as though cutting the water with a knife).
Remove strip from water, very slowly as to prevent water bubbles from forming on the pads. (a ribbon of reagent will flow off the pads when the strip is removed from the water sample correctly)
Next turn the strip so the pads are facing up. While continuing to hold the strip, press the "Start Timer" button and hold until the instruction screen notifies the operator to place strip into right channel of the scanner.
Make sure the strip is properly positioned in the channel. Avoid any sliding of the strip as this may affect the results. Push the white strip carrier back into the scanner and click "Scan Strip".
There will be TWO scans of the strip, so please wait until the test results appear on the Today's Test page before removing the strip.
