The acoustic mode is intended for people who are visually impaired.
When the acoustic mode is turned on, the meter will guide the user
through the testing process using beep tones; it will also announce the
results as a series of beeps.
Visually impaired people 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 the assistance of a sighted person.
A person without visual impairment must set up the meter. All the
necessary information for this is contained in the User’s Manual for the
meter.
This user’s manual for the acoustic mode is intended for sighted persons instructing visually impaired people on how to use the Accu-Chek
Compact Plus meter and supporting them in its use.
The user’s manual for the acoustic mode contains separate descriptions
of how to use the meter and the lancing device. These are provided to
support a sighted person, who is instructing a visually impaired person
on how to use the meter and supporting them in its use. Only those
activities, which are to be performed by a visually impaired person
with simultaneous support from a sighted person, are described in this
manual. These activities are:
Inserting and replacing the batteries
Inserting and replacing the test strip drum
Obtaining a blood
Testing blood glucose
Retrieving the results of the best
Descriptions are also given of different acoustic signals which indicate
warnings and error messages.
The user’s manual for the meter covers all the steps involved in
operating the meter as well as warnings and other information.
The user‘s manual for the acoustic mode in spoken form is also available in a CD format. You can receive this CD by calling the Accu-Chek
customer care line. Details are given at the end of this user’s manual.
The user’s manual for the acoustic mode was created in collaboration
with the Centre for Blind and Visually Impaired Students at Fachhochschule Gießen-Friedberg, Germany.

1 Description of the meter
The meter is supplied with a lancing device docked onto it.
1.1 The front
Display and buttons
Hold the meter so that the lancing device is located to the right. The two
short ends of the meter have different contours. The smooth end (without projections or depressions) should be pointing away from you. The
other end has a depression and a corner which is rounded off. This end
should be pointing towards you, so the rounded end and lancing device
are on the right. The display and buttons are on the top half of the meter.
In the centre of the meter is the Test button. This can be identified
through its curved ridge. To the left of the Test button is the M button
and to the right of the Test button is the S button. Above the buttons is
the display.
Drum compartment cover
Below the buttons is the drum compartment cover and, underneath it,
the drum compartment. The hinge attaching the drum compartment
cover to the meter is located below the buttons. At the lower end of the
drum compartment cover is a flat depression which continues around
onto the end of the meter nearest to you.
Test strip guide
Below the depression in the drum compartment cover, i.e. at the short
end of the meter nearest to you, is the test strip guide. This is where the
test strip will emerge.
Drum compartment
To the right of the test strip guide is a small projection that is part of the
drum compartment cover. By pulling this projection upwards, you can
open the drum compartment. When the drum compartment is open, a
button (the red drum release button) is situated at its lower right-hand
corner.
1.2 The back
Turn the meter over and lay it down face downwards so the lancing
device is now situated on the left.
Sliding button for undocking the lancing device
At the top left is an oval, ribbed button that slides towards you. This is
the sliding button that releases the lancing device.
Battery compartment
To the right of the sliding button is the battery compartment that
occupies approximately the upper half of the meter. Roughly at the
centre of the meter (i.e. at the lower end of the battery compartment
cover) is a ribbed surface. You push this forward to open the battery
compartment.

1.3 The lancing device
When the buttons are facing upwards, the lancing device is located on
the right side of the meter. It is docked in a recess in the meter. The
shape of the lancing device is that of a fat ballpoint pen. At its lower
end, adjacent to the end of the meter with the test strip guide, is the
cap. Underneathe the cap is the lancet holder. The cap rotates and is
used to set the penetration depth. Just above the cap, inset into the
lancing device, is a semi-circular arch that has a light-coloured border.
This indicates the chosen penetration depth. The cap is removed to allow a new lancet to be inserted or to eject a used one. At the upper end
of the lancing device is the plunger, which is used to prime, trigger and
eject the lancet.
Undocking and docking the lancing device
씰 Hold the meter so the back is facing upwards, with the lancing
device on the left.
씰 Search for the ribbed sliding button at the top left corner of the
meter.
씰 Slide this button downwards and hold it there.
This releases the lancing device.
씰 Withdraw the lancing device by pulling it forward towards you.
The lancing device is not round like a ballpoint pen, but has four sides
that are different, and have rounded edges. On the two narrow sides of
the lancing device are two narrow grooves that start below the plunger
and run along the lancing device. Along the edges of the recess in the
meter into which the lancing device is docked are the corresponding
guides. These guides must engage with the grooves when the lancing
device is docked onto the meter.
Of the two broad sides one is flat and the other curved. When the
lancing device is docked onto the meter, the curved side faces
outwards.
씰 Slide the lancing device from below, plunger first, into the recess.
The flat, broad side of the lancing device must be facing the meter
and be in contact with the walls of the recess. The guides then glide
into the grooves. The lancing device docks into place with an audible CLICK.
