Setting The Time And Date:

 

  • Your OneTouch® UltraMini® Meter comes with the time, date and unit of measure pre-set. Before using your meter for the first time or if you change the meter battery, you should check and update the time and date. Make sure you complete steps 1 to 7 below to ensure your desired settings are saved.
  • Warning: If your display shows mmol/L rather than mg/dL, contact OneTouch® Customer Care. You cannot change the unit of measure. Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your glucose level, and may lead to incorrect treatment.
 
1. Turn The Meter On:
      • Press and hold ↓ for five seconds until the start-up test screen appears. After the test screen, the pre-set time and date will appear on the display for five seconds. The hour will now start flashing.
      • Note: If a setting does not need to be updated, simply wait five seconds. The meter display will automatically advance to the next setting.
2. Set The Hour:
      • With the hour flashing on the display, press and release ↑ or ↓ to go forward or backward one hour. To move faster, hold the ↑ or ↓ buttons down.
      • When the correct hour appears on the display, wait five seconds. Your entry will be saved and you will move to the next setting. The minutes will now start flashing.
3. Set The Minutes:
      • Press ↑ or ↓ to change the minutes. When you have the correct minutes on the display, wait five seconds to move to the next setting. AM or PM will now start flashing.
4. Set AM Or PM:
      • “AM” or “PM” will be displayed next to the minutes. Press ↑ or ↓ to set AM or PM, then wait five seconds to move to the next setting. The year (last two digits only), month and day appear on the display and the year flashes.
5. Set The Year:
      • Press ↑ or ↑ to change the year. When you have the correct year on the display, wait five seconds to move to the next setting. The month will now start flashing.

7. Set The Day:
      • Press ↑ or ↓ to change the day. When you have the correct day on the display, wait five seconds to move to the next screen.
      • Your time and date settings will be displayed for five seconds. After the five seconds, the settings will be saved and the meter will then turn off. If you want to adjust your settings, press ↑ or ↓ while the time and date are still on the display. You will be returned to the first set-up screen where you can begin with the hour.
