Maintenance
Your PocketScan™ Meter does not require spe-
cial maintenance. As no blood or control solu-
tion comes in contact with the meter, there is no
special cleaning required. Take care to avoid get-
ting dirt, dust, blood, control solution, or water
inside the meter through the test port. Store the
meter in its carrying case after each use.
To clean the outside of the meter, wipe it with
a damp cloth and mild detergent. Your
PocketScan Meter is a precision instrument.
Please handle it with care.
Batteries
Your PocketScan™ Meter comes with two 1.5 V
#357 silver oxide batteries that are already
installed. Each pair of batteries will provide you
with enough power to perform about 1,000 tests.
The meter will alert you when the power is get-
ting low by displaying two different messages:
1. The symbol appears on the display
when the meter is turned on and all the
other display messages are functional. From
the time the symbol first appears,
there is enough power left for about 50
tests. The test results will be accurate, but it
is time to change the batteries.
