Memory

Your Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter has a 300-value memory for
saving results together with time and date (provided you have set the
time and date). You do not need to save the results manually. The meter
does it all for you. All results in memory are consecutively numbered
from 1 (most recent) to a maximum of 300 (oldest). If all the memory lo-
cations are occupied, the oldest result is erased, the most recent result
occupies memory location 1, and all the other results are shifted one
place back in time. You cannot erase results manually.
In addition to the results and the time and the date, your meter also
saves all other information that is relevant to that test. For example,
results flagged as quality controls (see Chapter 6 "Checking the
Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter") are displayed together with the bottle
symbol . Results obtained at a temperature outside the permitted
range are displayed with the thermometer symbol . Please refer to
Chapter 9.1 "Symbols" for a complete list of symbols which can appear
in the display.
