The meter can only remind you to perform a blood glucose test
when the year, time and date have been set in the meter. If you
lose the year, time and date settings while replacing the batteries
(see Chapter 9), you must re-enter these in order for the alarms
to be active. The settings for the alarms themselves will not have
been lost.
i
If you have turned the alarm clock function on, the meter will
always beep to remind you to test your blood glucose even if the
beep tone itself is turned off. The beep tone setting has no influ-
ence on the alarm clock function.
i
If you turn the alarm clock function off entirely (
0FF
), the alarm
times you have set remain saved nevertheless.
i
If the meter is already on when an alarm is due, whether for a
blood glucose test or some other reason, the alarm is sup-
pressed. The alarm sounds as soon as you turn the meter off or it
turns off automatically. The alarm does not sound until then.

To help you to recognize a possible hypo, you can set the meter to let
you know when your test result indicates a low blood glucose. You can
select what blood glucose level you want this indicator to have.
As soon as a test result is below the level you have set, you see the
flashing
symbol displayed along with the result. If the beep tone
(
0n1
) is turned on, you hear 5 short double beeps (after to the beep you
hear when the result is displayed). The 5 short double beeps are not
heard when the beep tone is set to off or Acoustic Mode (
0n2
) is set to
on.
