Initial steps before testing

When the battery symbol first appears in the display the bat-

teries are running low. You can perform about 50 more tests. You

should, however, replace the batteries as soon as possible. By

then the batteries will have been heavily drained, and changeable

conditions (e.g. cold surroundings) can affect their performance

even further.

You can also use rechargeable NiMH batteries. If you do, please

note the following:

 The number of tests you can perform with recharged batter-

ies is considerably less than with ordinary batteries.

 To be ready to test at any time, you will need two recharge-

able batteries in reserve which you can charge while the first

pair are in the meter.

 Recharged batteries lose their charge during storage.

 When the battery symbol first appears, you can perform sig-

nificantly fewer than 50 more tests. With old and exhausted

rechargeable batteries you may not even be able to perform

one more test.

 The performance and useful life of rechargeable batteries de-

pends to a large extent on the quality of the battery charger

you are using.

 Owing to the higher power consumption in Acoustic Mode,

we advise against using rechargeable batteries if you want to

use your meter in Acoustic Mode.

It is a good idea to use up the test strip drum that is in the meter

before you replace the batteries. If the drum remains in the meter

while you change the batteries, it may take the meter a long time

to advance the next strip from the drum. The meter can also no

longer calculate the 90-day use-by deadline (see Chapter 2.5

“Inserting or replacing the test strip drum”).

Never throw batteries into a fire. This is dangerous because they

may explode.

Remove the batteries if you will not be using your meter for any

length of time.

Think of the environment. Dispose of used batteries sensibly.
