Getting Started
Refer to the Getting Started guide to learn how to set
up the meter and prepare for and run your first
blood-clotting time test.
Batteries
The CoaguChek XS Meter uses 4 AAA batteries. The
recommended batteries, alkaline-manganese
batteries, should last for approximately 300 tests.
When you power the meter on, the display
briefly shows the battery symbol. The
battery symbol is divided into 4 segments.
With new, fresh batteries in the meter, the
battery symbol shows all 4 segments.
When only 1 segment appears, replace
the batteries. When only 1 segment
appears you can still access results
stored in the meter’s memory.
When replacing the batteries you must insert the
new batteries within one minute of removing the old
ones, to keep the date and time settings. If you take
longer than this, you must re-enter the date and
time. Refer to page 19.
The meter saves battery power by automatically
powering off after 3 minutes, unless you press a
button or insert a test strip. Even when the batteries
are removed, the test results are saved in memory.
