Telcare Blood Glucose 

Monitoring System

User Manual 

This meter contains a rechargeable internal battery.  In order to save 

battery power, it will power down (go dark) after 20 seconds.  If this 

happens while you are using the meter, there is nothing wrong.  To 

wake up the meter, either insert a test strip or turn the power button 

“off” and then “on”. 

 This device will not transmit data when it is not in use. The data 

transmission time is no more than six minutes.
