Observe the following general safety instructions for
handling batteries:
■ When storing or disposing of the battery pack, use
the manufacturer's original packaging.
■ Always shut down the meter before removing the
battery pack (see page 122).
■ When the Battery Low warning is displayed, the
meter must be returned as soon as possible to
the base unit for recharging.
■ The Battery Critically Low warning indicates that
the meter must be returned immediately to the
base unit for recharging. No more tests can be
performed.
Disposal of used batteries
Do not dispose of the battery pack with normal domestic
waste. As a component of the Accu-Chek Inform II
system, it must be deemed as potentially biohazardous.
Treat it accordingly. See “Disposal of the system” on
page 21.
Save or download data from the meter prior to replacing
the battery pack to prevent loss of data (see Chapter 9).
If the meter displays a large red battery icon
instead of powering up when you press the On/Off but-
ton, this indicates that the battery is empty. Return the
meter to the base unit immediately for recharging. See
Troubleshooting, “Low power icons” on page 165.
