Meter Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Meter Maintenance
The meter automatically tests its own
systems every time you turn it on and lets
you know if something is wrong. See the
Error Messages section in this chapter.
If you have problems with the meter, drop
the meter, or think the results are not
accurate, perform a control test with an
unexpired test strip and control solution. If
the control result is not within the
acceptable range, contact the Accu‑Chek
Customer Care Service Center at
1‑800‑858‑8072.
WARNING
Keep new and used batteries away
from children. See the warning in the
Important Safety Information section at
the beginning of this manual for
additional information.
