Installing (or Changing) the Batteries

back of the meter.
2.
Insert two AAA batteries with
the + and – ends matching
the marks in the battery
compartment.
3.
Slide the battery cover back in place.
Notes:
• The meter uses two AAA batteries. It’s best to use long-lasting
alkaline batteries and to keep an extra pair on hand.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time and with the same
brand.
• After you change the batteries, you may have to reset the time and
date. All test results stay in memory.
• If there is no strip in the meter, it turns off automatically after five
minutes.
• The temperature symbol appears
when batteries are first inserted,
then disappears after 30 seconds.
• The battery symbol means the
batteries are low and should be
changed soon.
• The battery symbol with “error”
means the batteries are almost
out of power and must be
changed to do a blood test.
