Acoustic Mode

The procedure for turning on the Acoustic Mode is described in Chapter
3.3. When the 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
displayed.
An intimate knowledge of how results are represented as beeps and
how to distinguish results from other beeps is crucial to reliably
recognizing the result.
The chapters that now follow explain the beep tones in detail. In
addition, training software (the BeepLearn-Programm) to help you
interpret results announced in the form of beeps is available on CD from
Accu-Chek Customer Care.
Visually impaired people should only use the Acoustic Mode
if they have familiarized themselves fully with the Acoustic
Mode with the assistance of a sighted person and have
demonstrated that they are able to understand test results
correctly without exception, using the Acoustic Mode. The
Acoustic Mode should always be used with great care.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the test results will be
misinterpreted by the person performing the test. An
incorrect insulin dose resulting from a misinterpreted test
result can cause considerable health damage and can even
be fatal. Especially if unexpected and abnormal blood
glucose values are obtained using the Acoustic Mode, the
test result must be checked by repeating the test together
with a sighted person.
