Meter Setup
83
Administrator ID
In the default setting, the meter is not protected with an Administrator ID, and all setup options
are accessible to every user. If you set up an Administrator ID, the following setup areas are auto-
matically reserved only for the administrator (i.e., the person who knows the password):
■ Screen: Date/Time
■ Data Handling
■ ID Setup
■ Quality control and the associated lockouts
■ Optional screens
The setup of an Administrator ID does not limit or alter the usage of the meter for measurements
in any way. Furthermore setting up the Administrator ID has no impact on the usage of
Operator IDs. Only the setup options as listed above are tied to administrator access.
When you enter an Administrator ID, this ID must be entered from this point forward before
any future IDs can be set up (anywhere in the ID Setup menu). The Administrator ID must also
be entered before you can delete or change the Administrator ID.
If you forget the Administrator ID, the meter setup may be unlocked via the external data man-
agement system (e.g., cobas IT 1000). If you don’t use such a system and need to reset the
Administrator ID, contact your Roche representative (see Chapter 10).
