Replacing The Battery:

 

  • Your OneTouch® UltraMini® Meter uses one 3.0 Volt CR 2032 lithium battery (or equivalent). Replacement batteries can be found in most stores where batteries are sold. Your meter comes with the battery already installed. A battery icon appears in the far right-hand side of the meter display to indicate low battery.
  • When there is enough power for a minimum of 100 more tests, the battery icon will appear.

  • After each test and when reviewing past results, the battery icon will now flash to remind you to change the battery as soon as possible.

  • When the battery icon is flashing by itself on the display, you cannot perform a test. You must install a new battery before using your meter.


Replacing The Battery:

 

1. Remove the old battery.

      • Start with the meter off. Open the battery door and pull up on the battery ribbon.

      • WARNING: To avoid a possible shock, Do Not change the battery while the meter is connected to a computer with the OneTouch® Interface Cable.

2. Insert the new battery.

      • With the “+” side facing up toward you, place the battery in the compartment within the fold of the ribbon.
      • Push the battery until it snaps into place.
      • Insert the two battery door tabs into the matching holes, and push down until you hear the door click into place.
      • If the meter does not power on after you have replaced the battery, check that the battery is correctly installed with the “+” side up. If the meter still does not power on, contact OneTouch® Customer Care.

3. Check the time and date.

      • After replacing the battery, turn the meter on by pressing and holding the ↓ button for five seconds to access the set-up mode.
      • The start-up test screen will be briefly displayed; then the date and time will appear in the top right corner of the display.
      • Check that the time and date are set correctly. If they are not, use the ↑ and ↓ buttons to re-set the meter before testing.
      • NOTE: Removing the meter battery will not affect your stored results. However, you may need to re-set the time and date.

4. Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental regulations.
