4.1 Removing the battery insulation strips, replacing the batteries

Note

• Two batteries are included in the delivery

scope of your blood-glucose monitoring

device.

They are already inserted in the battery

compartment.

• Before using the unit the first time, you

must remove the insulation strip.

Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the underside of the unit.

When you perform a battery change, remove all batteries. While changing the batter-

ies, the device retains the date and time as long as one of the batteries remains inserted.

If the replacement takes a long time, you may have to adjust the date and time afterwards (see

"Basic settings" on page 14).

Insert two new batteries of type CR 2032 3V.

Ensure that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity, according to the diagram. See

the diagram inside the battery compartment.

Carefully replace the lid on the battery compartment.
