Getting Started

Refer to the Getting Started guide to learn how to set
up the meter and prepare for and run your first blood-
clotting time test.

Batteries

The CoaguChek XS Meter uses 4 AAA batteries. The
recommended batteries, alkaline-manganese batteries,
should last for approximately 60 tests.
When you turn the meter on, the display
briefly shows the battery symbol. The
battery symbol is divided into 4 segments.
With new, fresh batteries in the meter, the
battery symbol shows all 4 segments.
When only 1 segment appears, replace the
batteries. When only 1 segment appears
you can still access results stored in the
meter's memory.
If you insert new batteries within 1 minute of removing
the old batteries, the date and time settings will remain
in memory. But if you do need to reset the date and
time, refer to the Meter Setup section in this manual.
The meter saves battery power by automatically turning
off after 3 minutes, unless you press a button or insert a
test strip. Even when the batteries are removed, the test
results are saved in memory.
