the average, lowest value and highest value cannot be calculated
for 7 days.
The meter can only perform the necessary calculations as long
i
as the results were stored together with the time and date. If you
have not entered the time and date, three horizontal bars
are displayed instead of the numerical values.
In the event that you changed the date or time, then performed a
i
test and afterwards re-set the date/time, the meter only includes
results it saved in uninterrupted chronological order. If the chron-
ological order was interrupted, the earlier results are ignored. If
you have not performed any tests since you made the change,

Using the meter as an electronic notebook
If the memory contains both results that were saved together
i
with the time and date and results that were saved without this
information, the averages and respective lowest and highest val-
ues will only be calculated from results saved with the time and
date that come chronologically before the first result without the
time and date. Example: The meter saved 150 results over a
period of 50 days. The result in memory location 51 was saved
without the time and date. The results in memory locations 1 to
50, which were saved together with the time and date, cover a
20-day period. For calculation of the 7- and 14-day averages,
those results are included that are within the period in question.
The 30-day average is calculated from all 50 results, even if
these only covered a 20-day period. The results after the result
without the time and date (memory location 52 and higher) are
no longer available for calculation of averages, even if they were
saved with the time and date.
If you turn the meter off with the Test button, it shows you the
i
number of test strips remaining in the drum (see Chapter 2.3.2).
The meter turns off automatically if you have not pressed a but-
i
ton for 60 seconds.
