CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

Points to Note When Taking Measurements 1. Be sure that the three separation belts are in contact with the test strip. 2. Be sure that the test strip is pulled straight along the separation belt (Figure 5-131). 3. Be sure that measurements are taken when the rear end of the test strip and the rear end of the original tray are flush (Figure 5-136).
