6. Batteries
Your FreeStyle Flash ™ Meter comes with two preinstalled #2032,
3 volt, lithium batteries. The batteries provides enough power for the
meter to perform about 500 tests, and to power the display backlight
and test light.
Important: When the battery symbol appears or when the backlight and
test light begin to dim, you should replace your batteries immediately.
If your batteries run low, the battery symbol ( ) appears on
every display screen until you change the batteries. You have enough
power for approximately 25 more tests.
• To avoid losing the time and date settings, replace the batteries
within one minute of removing the old batteries.
• If you take more than one minute to replace the batteries, you must
reset the time and date to get the correct 14-day average.
Note: If the time and date are lost, the time and date displays
flash 12:00 and 00-00 until they are reset.
• Removing the batteries does not affect the meter’s memory log or
previously stored user settings (for example, unit of measurement,
calibration code, and date format).
• If the time and date settings are not reset, test results are stored in
memory with a time of 12:00 a.m. (00:00) and a date of 00-00.
