CARING FOR YOUR SYSTEM
WARNING: To avoid a possible shock, Do Not change the battery while the meter is connected to a computer with the
OneTouch® Interface Cable.
Insert the new battery
With the “+” side facing up toward you, place the battery in the compartment within the fold of the ribbon.
Push the battery until it snaps into place. Insert the two battery door tabs into the matching holes, and push
down until you hear the door click into place.
If the meter does not power on after you have replaced the battery, check that the battery is correctly
installed with the “+” side up. If the meter still does not power on, call OneTouch® Customer Care
0800 121200 (UK) or 1800 535676 (Ireland).
Check the time and date
After replacing the battery, turn the meter on by pressing and holding the
▼
button for five seconds to access the set-up mode. The start-up
test screen will be briefly displayed; then the date and time will appear in the top right corner of the display. Check that the time and date
are set correctly. If they are not, use the
▲
and
▼
buttons to re-set the meter before testing. See
Setting the time and date
in Section 2.
NOTE
: Removing the meter battery will not affect your stored results. However, you may need to re-set the time and date.
Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental regulations
Please recycle or dispose of used batteries using your local battery collection systems and in compliance with your local
environmental laws and regulations. Batteries contain chemicals that, if released, may affect the environment and human health.
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol indicates the need for the separate collection for batteries.
