2.1 Installing or replacing the battery pack
When shipped, the battery pack is not installed in the
CoaguChek Pro II meter.
Unused battery packs lose their charge over time and
have to be recharged before they can be used. After
installing a new battery pack, the meter should be
charged for two hours before testing. Please note that
the battery pack will only reach full capacity once it has
been fully emptied and charged several times.
Whenever the meter is placed on an active Handheld
Base Unit or powered by the power adapter, the
icon is displayed. This icon shows that power is availa-
ble and the meter can be charged if necessary.
Make sure that the permitted temperature range for
charging the battery pack (12-32 °C or 54-90 °F) is
maintained during installation and initial setup.
