To save you going through all the alarms if you only use alarm 1,
not all of the alarms are displayed. When your meter is new,
therefore, only alarm 1 is visible. If you leave this turned off, End
is shown next in the set-ups. Only when you have turned alarm 1
on is alarm 2 visible in the set-ups. Alarms 3 and 4 remain invisi-
ble. They only appear when you have turned on alarms 2 and 3,
respectively. All alarms that have become visible remain visible
irrespective of whether these or the ones that come before them
have just been turned on or not. Once alarm 2 has been turned
on, for example, alarms 1, 2 and 3 always remain visible.
If you turn off an alarm that has been set, the meter retains the
set alarm time in its memory.
If the meter is already on when an alarm is due, whether for a
blood glucose test or some other reason, the alarm is sup-
pressed. The alarm sounds as soon as you turn the meter off or it
turns off automatically. The alarm does not sound until then.
