Replacing the Battery
Your
GIMA
Meter uses two 3.0 Volt CR 2032 lithium batteries.
When the battery icon (
) is blinking, it means the battery is running low.
You should replace the battery as soon as possible. An “E-6” error message will
appear if the battery is too low to perform any more blood glucose tests. The
meter will not function until the battery is replaced.
Note:
Make sure to replace the used up batteries with two new ones.
Instructions:
1. Turn the meter off before removing the batteries.
2. Turn the meter over to locate the battery cover. Slide the battery cover in the
direction of the arrow to open it.
3. Remove and discard the old batteries. Insert two new CR 2032 3.0 V coin cell
batteries in the battery carriers. Make sure the plus (+) side facing up.
4. Close the battery cover and make sure that it snaps shut.
5. Recheck and reset the clock setting after battery replacement, if necessary.
