ment.

■ The Setup Wizard
The first time you turn on the Personal Diabetes Manager, the
Setup Wizard comes on automatically. Although setup is easy
with the Wizard, if you are a first-time user, your healthcare pro-
vider must guide you through the process. Setup takes only a
few minutes and is easy to do:
• Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to increase or
decrease a number, or to move up or down a list.
• Press the Soft Key labeled Next, Select, Done, or Save to con-
tinue to the next screen.
• Press Back to return to the previous screen.
The diagram inside the compartment shows you which
direction to insert the batteries (Figure 2-2).
