Meter Set Up
Before using the GLUCOCARD Vital Meter for the first time, you must set the
time and date. You can choose between the 12-hour format (1-12 o’clock
with am or pm) and the Military 24-hour format (0-23). The date format can
either be displayed as month/day (U.S.A. format) or day/month (International
format). Do not perform a blood glucose test until you have set the meter
correctly.
Setting the Time and Date
Step 1:
Turn on meter
Press the On/Off button to turn the meter on. The full screen appears briefly. If
any part of the display screen is missing (see page 11), call Customer Service.
The meter then displays the time, date, unit of measurement, and the insert
test strip symbol.
Step 2:
Enter set-up mode
Press and hold down the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds to enter the
set-up mode.
