Questions and answers
My meter keeps saying error I have changed the batteries
Your Accu-Chek Guide meter may show an error message after changing the batteries due to several reasons:
1. Incorrect Battery Installation – Ensure the new batteries are correctly inserted with the (+) side facing up and properly positioned under the black tabs.
2. Expired or Low-Quality Batteries – Use two new, unexpired CR2032 lithium coin cell batteries of the same brand.
3. Incomplete Battery Replacement – Always replace both batteries at the same time.
4. Battery Compartment Not Secure – Ensure the battery door is fully closed and snapped into place.
5. Meter Needs Reset – Try removing the batteries, waiting a few minutes, and reinserting them.
If the issue persists, perform a control test to check accuracy. If problems continue, contact Accu-Chek Customer Care.
