Notes:
• The meter uses two AAA batteries. Use long-lasting alkaline (not rechargeable) batteries and keep an extra
pair on hand.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time and with the same brand.
• When changing the batteries, try to insert the new batteries within two minutes. If it takes longer than two
minutes, you may need to reset the time and date.
• Try to wait until the current test drum you are using is empty before replacing the batteries. Otherwise, the
meter may take some time to advance to the next test strip and may give an incorrect use-by date warning.
• If you open the drum door while the batteries are out of the meter, you may need to reset the time and date,
but all test results stay in the memory.
• If you press any button while the batteries are out of the meter, you will need to reset the time and date.
• If the meter is turned on and you decide not to run a test, the meter turns off automatically after five
minutes.
• The battery symbol on the display means the batteries are low and should be changed soon.
• If you turn on the meter and the display goes blank, no more tests can be run until the batteries are
replaced.
