for about 500 tests.

When appears on the display, the battery is low.
•
When appears, the display light and test light dim, or fail to turn on.
IMPORTANT: When
light dim, replace the battery immediately.
•
When you are ready to install a new battery, remove the old battery and
install the new battery within 60 seconds to avoid losing time and date
settings.
•
If time and date settings are lost, both time
flash until reset. Reset time and date to get the correct 7-, 14- and 30-day
averages. If the time and date settings are lost, you may still perform an
accurate blood glucose test.
•
Memory log and previously stored user settings, such as date and time
format, are not affected by removing the battery.
