4. If you wish to define the date and time
format, leave the meter turned on and
proceed to step 2 in the next section.
The year is not displayed during testing or
review of blood glucose test results. It is
still important, however, as February 29 in
a leap year will only be recognized when the
year is properly set. The current year setting
is also needed to correctly identify your blood
glucose test results if you transfer them
from your meter's memory to a computer.
