Battery Replacement

Your meter comes with two 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries.

The meter will alert you when the power is getting low by displaying two different messages:


1. The symbol appears together with other display messages: the meter is functional and the result remains accurate, but it is time to change the batteries.



2. The symbol appears with the flashing E-b symbol and “low”: the batteries can not provide enough power to do a test. You must change the batteries immediately.

PLEASE NOTE

• Replacing the batteries does not affect the meter’s memory (previous test results stored in memory). However, the time and date settings may need to be updated.

• Batteries might leak chemicals if not used for a long time. Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the device for an extended period (i.e., 3 months or more).

To replace the battery, make sure that the meter is turned off.

1. Press the buckle on battery cover and lift up to remove cover.

2. Remove the old batteries and replace with two new 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries.

3. Close the battery cover. If the battery is inserted correctly, you will hear a “beep”.



WARNING

As with all small batteries, the batteries should be kept away from small children who still put things in their mouths. If they are swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.
