Acoustic Mode
6 Acoustic Mode
Acoustic Mode is intended for persons who are visually impaired. When
Acoustic Mode is turned on, the meter guides you through the blood
glucose test using beep tones; it also outputs the result as a series of
beeps. The meter beeps additionally when the batteries are almost
exhausted, the test strip drum is empty, or an error message is dis-
played.
Chapter 3.3 describes how to turn Acoustic Mode on.
Visually impaired persons need a sighted person to instruct them
in the use of the meter and to assist them with all aspects of its
operation. Visually impaired persons must not test their blood
glucose without assistance from a sighted person.
An intimate knowledge of how results are represented as beeps and
how to distinguish results from other beeps is crucial to reliably recog-
nizing the result.
The chapters that now follow explain the beep tones in detail. In addi-
tion, training software (the BeepLearn-Programm) to help you interpret
results announced in the form of beeps is available on CD from the
Accu-Chek Customer Careline free on 0800 701000 (UK) or 1800
709600 (Ireland). Practise listening to beeps from actual tests or from
the training software together with a sighted person until you can clearly
recognize and interpret the results and other beeps you will hear.
If you have problems determining the results from the beeps, you should
not use Acoustic Mode.
