Accu-Chek 98/79/EC Blood Glucose Meter User Manual


 
Inserting the Battery
Your meter is shipped with one 3-volt battery type 2032
(CR 2032, DL 2032, or equivalent) that needs to be
inserted before testing. The battery that comes with your
meter can be found in the mesh pocket of your carrying
case. Battery life will vary depending on usage, so
always keep a spare on hand.
The meter saves battery power by automatically turning
off after 90 seconds of non-use or 5 seconds after
taking a strip out of the meter following a test. If the
meter does automatically shut off, all tests in memory
are saved.
Note: After changing the battery, your meter will
prompt you to verify the time and date immediately
after the battery is inserted. This occurs only if the
time and date had been set previously on your
meter.
1. Push the recessed plastic
tab of the battery
compartment forward
(toward the arrow) to flip
open the battery door.
