Settings - Accu-Chek Compact Plus Reference Manual

Perform a quality control check (see Chapter 6 "Checking your

meter").
If the test produces a correct result, you may continue to use the test
strips. If the result is incorrect, you need to insert a new drum.
Following the quality control check, the bottle symbol disappears from
the display. The drum symbol continues to flash in order to draw your
attention to the fact that the meter cannot calculate the 90-day use-by
period or the drum symbol and the clock both flash to indicate that the
drum has been in use for more than 90 days. If you do not perform a
quality control check, the flashing bottle symbol appears with every test
until you insert a new drum. The drum symbol or the drum and clock
symbols only disappear when you insert a new drum. All results are
saved with the flashing drum symbol or, where appropriate, with both
the flashing drum and clock symbols.
If you insert a partly used drum in the meter, a dot appears in the
i
small control window at the back. When you next turn the meter
on, it rotates the drum until it finds the first chamber containing a
test strip. The fewer test strips there are in the drum, the longer
the process takes. The control window allows you to see the
drum being rotated from one chamber to the next.

off, to select the year, the time/date format, the time and the date, and
