Coding the Meter
1. With the meter off, slide the
code key into the code key slot.
It should easily snap into place.
2. Press and release to turn
the meter on.
3. Make sure the code on the
display matches the code on the
test strip vial.
4. Throw away the old code key.

!
Change the code key every time you open a new box of test strips.
Notes:
• If “---” appears on the display, turn off
the meter, make sure the code key is all
the way in, then turn on the meter again.
• Don’t force the code key into the meter:
it only goes in one way - numbers out
and ridges up.
• If the code number on the display does
not match the code number on the test
strip vial, call Accu-Chek Customer Care
at 1-800-858-8072.
