Section 8 Maintenance
It is recommended that the meter be stored in the carrying case after each
use. Avoid getting liquids, residue, or control solution inside the meter.
The only required periodic maintenance is the following:
Check that the code number on the code chip matches the code number on
the test strip pouch label for each new lot of test strips (See Section 4).
Set the meter’s internal clock with the correct date and time, if necessary
(e.g. daylight savings time. See Section 5).
Change the batteries when necessary.
Keep the meter clean.
Replacing the Batteries
Remove the included AA batteries from their protective packaging.
Turn the meter over and locate the battery cover on the back of the meter.
Open the cover by pressing the cover release tab with an arrow. Press the
tab towards the bottom of the meter to release the cover and reveal the
battery compartment.
Install the 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown, alternating
orientation up and down as indicated in the bottom of the battery
compartment.
