Installing Batteries
The meter uses two alkaline 1.5V (AAA) batteries. Batteries will normally last for
more than 2000 tests. Other types of 1.5V (AAA) batteries are also acceptable, but
the capacity of test times may differ. Install the batteries when you first use the
meter or replace with new batteries when the "LP" (low power) message and the low
battery symbol appear on the display.
The meter will not turn on the first time batteries are installed.
Please press and hold “S” button or insert the test strip to turn your meter on.
The meter will turn off automatically. Or you can press and hold “S” button to turn
your meter off.
