Does the red index light correlate with the top of the screen?
The red index light is effectively a continuation of the red center line on the display screen. The start
of the red index light on the skin is a few millimetres in front of the top edge of the LCD screen. It is
therefore important that a suitable straight length of vein is identified, then draw back the device
approximately 6-8mm to align the exact point to insert the needle.
How do I access the batteries?
Replacing the batteries is easy, just open the battery door at the back of the unit, no screwdriver
required. Novarix recommend the use of 2x AA Duracell Ultra batteries (or similar) to get the best
performance. There is a battery life indicator on the display which will indicate full power (green),
