Changing the Batteries

Your meter is shipped with two 1.5 volt (AAA) alkaline
batteries that need to be installed before testing. Battery
life will vary depending on usage, so always keep spares
on hand.
The meter saves battery power by automatically turning
off after five minutes of nonuse. When a blood sugar
test is finished, the meter turns off automatically after
60 seconds.
When battery power is low, the battery symbol
appear. This indicates that there is enough power to
finish testing with the current test drum loaded in the
meter. When this test drum is empty, change the batter-
ies and the test drum at the same time.
When you replace the batteries, any blood sugar
results you have in memory will be retained (together
with additional test information such as test date and
display messages).
Time and date will need to be reset when
batteries are replaced.
When replacing batteries, always replace both at
the same time and make sure both batteries are the
same brand.
