Memory

Your 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 re-
sults in memory are consecutively numbered from 1 (most recent) to a
maximum of 300 (oldest). If all the memory locations are occupied, the
oldest result is erased, the most recent result occupies memory loca-
tion 1, and all the other results are shifted one place back in time. You
cannot erase results manually.
In addition to the result, 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 your meter") are
displayed together with the bottle symbol . Results obtained at a tem-
perature outside the permitted range are displayed with the thermom-
eter symbol . Please refer to Chapter 10.1 "Symbols" for a complete
list of symbols which can appear in the display.

Viewing test results

With the meter turned off, press the M button. The meter turns on

without advancing a test strip. The most recent result and mem are
displayed.
Always turn the meter on with the M button if you intend to view
i
results held in memory.
If you turn the meter on with the Test button and there is a drum
in the meter, a test strip will be advanced.
Press the M button to move towards the next older result saved.

If you hold down the M button, you scroll through your results more
quickly towards the older results. When you reach the oldest memory
location containing a result, pressing the M button again takes you to
the most recent result.
