Set Beeper
If the beeper is set ON, it will beep when:

Set Time, Set Date
If your meter has a battery tab, pull it

out. You will be prompted to set the

time and date the first time you turn on

your meter (see Set Time and Set Date

sections in this chapter).
Important: Set the correct time and date before you

use the monitor for the first time. This will help you keep

records of when you monitor and will help you and your

healthcare professional make informed decisions about

your care. You must set the time and date to review

averages.
You may need to re-set the time and date:

• After you replace the battery

• When you travel between time zones or when the time

zone you are in changes

In "Set Date", you set the year, month, and day.
