CHAPTER
CAUTION: When the battery symbol appears, you should replace the batteries immediately.
Only use CR2032 batteries.
Your BGStar Meter comes with two pre-installed, CR2032, 3 volt, lithium batteries. Battery #1
powers the backlight and battery #2 powers the basic meter functions. When the power from
battery #2 is low, the low battery symbol or dead battery symbol will be displayed on the screen
until you change battery #2. When replacing battery #2, the time and date information may be lost
after the battery is removed from the meter. If this happens, activate the meter after installing the
new battery and it will prompt you to set the time and date. Correct time and date settings are
needed to get correct averages. Removing the batteries does not affect the meter's memory or
previously stored user settings, such as time format, alarms, etc.
Note: Dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental regulations. Your meter is
an electronic device. When disposing of your meter follow all local environmental regulations.
