Error Detection and Battery Status/Charging/

Removal

Battery Charging:

When you plug your meter into your wall changer or 
computer, it will start to charge immediately. While 
the battery charges, the strip port light fl ashes slowly.

Press the Menu button at any time to display the 
charging status.

Extra Memory:

Your meter contains 500 MB extra memory for 
your personal use. It appears on your computer as 
a “Removable Disk” when you insert your meter 
into the USB port. You can use this memory while 
your battery is charging. When you read or write 
to the memory, the strip port light fl ashes quickly.

Wall Charger:

For information about your wall charger please 
refer to the insert contained in your meter kit.

Rapid Charge

If the battery is low when 
you plug in your meter, 
it will Rapid Charge for 
about 1 minute. You can 
run a blood sugar test as 
soon as Rapid Charge is complete.

Normal Charging

When Rapid Charge ends, normal charging is 
expected to last up to 2 hours. When the battery 
is full, the strip port light turns off.

NOTE:

 

A high-power USB port will allow you to 

access GLUCOFACTS Deluxe and your meter’s 
extra memory. It also allows the shortest charging 
time. If the charging status displays “Low Power 
Charging,” your CONTOUR USB meter may not 
be plugged into a high-power USB port. Please try 
a different USB port on your computer. If you are 
unsure whether your computer has a high-power 
USB port, please check with your computer user 
manual or the computer manufacturer.
