I can’t get a reading on a Blood Glucose meter, PLEASE help!?

Maybe I’m not doing it right?
It’s a blood glucose reading kit — it comes with needle device, strips and electronic reading device.
So, I prick the finger to bring blood, then I take a strip…..put it into the slot in the end of the reader, and put the blood on the part of the strip that’s sticking out. Then I wait for a reading, but either I don’t get a reading or the numbers (characters) are unreadable. Please, what am I doing wrong? Can someone spell out step by step what I should do…am I putting in the strips wrong,…..thanks

After you insert strip the meter will tell you when to place blood on strip.Place the blood and wait 15 seconds. Your done.

Did you put the code chip in meter. Does your meter show any lettering or numbers or instructions. What about the battery.
And yes read instructions, Please.Thats the first thing you should do not the last.
