The CoaguChek XS Pro Meter

Power supply
The CoaguChek XS Pro meter can be operated with either the power adapter provided, four
standard type AA alkaline, non-rechargeable batteries, or a special rechargeable battery pack
(optional). Insert the batteries or the optional rechargeable battery pack even when you use the
power adapter. This ensures that you will not lose the date and time settings if the power goes
out.
To save power, the CoaguChek XS Pro meter has the option to automatically power itself off
based on your setup selections, unless a button has been pressed or a new test strip has been
inserted. The default setting is set to 5 minutes. When the meter powers itself off, all results
obtained up to that point remain in memory and the settings will still be there when you power
the meter back on. (Refer to Auto Off on page 54.)
The test strip guide cover is open
Communication is taking place via the infrared interface
Reports a status message (see: Chapter 10 Troubleshooting)
Reports an error message or a warning (see: Chapter 10 Troubleshooting)
The power adapter also serves as a charger if you use it with the special rechargeable battery
pack.
When working with the battery pack: Unused battery packs lose their charge over time and
have to be recharged before they can be used. After installing a new battery pack, the meter
should be charged for two hours in the base unit before testing. Please note that the battery
pack will only reach full capacity once it has been fully emptied and charged several times.
