Installing Batteries
The meter uses two alkaline 1.5V (AAA) batteries. Batteries will normally last for
over 2000 tests. Other types of 1.5V (AAA) batteries are also acceptable, yet the
capacity of test times may differ. Install the batteries when you first use the meter or
replace with new batteries when the "LP" message and the low battery symbol
appear on the display.
The meter will not turn on the first time batteries are installed.
Please press and hold “S” button or insert the test strip to turn your meter on.
The meter will not turn off automatically. Or you can press and hold “S” button to turn
your meter off.
