Battery Use and Replacement
The CardioChek Plus analyzer requires four (4) AA 1.5 volt high-quality alkaline
batteries.
When to Replace the Batteries
The analyzer will give you an indication on the display that the batteries need to be
changed. When the display reads REPLACE BATTERIES, no more tests can be run until the
batteries are changed. Always replace the batteries with high-quality alkaline batteries.
It is recommended to keep a spare set of batteries on hand. To extend battery life,
remove the test strip as soon as a result is displayed. The time/date and results stored in
memory will not be erased when the batteries are changed.
When the REPLACE BATTERIES message is displayed, replace the batteries with 4 new
AA alkaline batteries of the same brand.
Do not use NiCad or rechargeable batteries.
Caution: Improper installation of batteries can result in decreased battery life or
damage to the analyzer.
