Meter Maintenance
The meter automatically tests its own
systems every time you turn it on and lets
you know if something is wrong. See the
Error Messages section of this chapter.
If you have problems with the meter or think
the results are not accurate, perform a
control test with an unexpired test strip and
control solution. If the control result is not
within the acceptable range, contact the
Accu-Chek Customer Care Service Center at
1-800-858-8072.
WARNING
Keep new and used batteries away from
children. See the warning in the
Important Safety Information section at
the beginning of this manual for
additional information.

Open the battery door on
the back of the meter by
pushing the tab in the
