Caring for your system
Step 2
Insert the new battery
With the “+” side facing up toward you, place the battery in the compartment within the
fold of the ribbon. Push the battery until it snaps into place. Insert the two battery door tabs
into the matching holes, and push down until you hear the door click into place.
If the meter does not power on after you have replaced the
battery, check that the battery is correctly installed with the “+”
side up. If the meter still does not power on, call LifeScan
Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862.
Step 3
Check the time and date
After replacing the battery, turn the meter on by pressing and holding the button for
five seconds to access the set-up mode. The start-up test screen will be briefly displayed;
then the date and time will appear in the top right corner of the display. Check that the
time and date are set correctly. If they are not, use the and buttons to re-set the
meter before testing. See Setting the time and date, pages 4–6.
NOTE: Removing the meter battery will not affect your stored results. However, you may
need to re-set the time and date.
