Batteries - Roche CoaguChek XS Manuel D'utilisation

The CoaguChek XS Meter

Batteries

To save power, the CoaguChek XS meter automatically turns itself off
after 3 minutes unless a button has been pressed or a new test strip has
been inserted. When the meter turns itself off, all results obtained up to
that point remain in memory. The meter briefly indicates the battery
power level when it is turned on. The battery symbol is divided into four
segments which correspond to the battery power level.
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. Use only
alkali-manganese batteries type AAA (LR03).
The CoaguChek XS meter is shipped with high quality batteries. Since
quality varies among different battery brands, Roche recommends
replacing your used batteries with new batteries of a similar high quality
and not mixing different brands. Do not mix new and already used
batteries.
Please be aware that battery life may be affected by many factors, such
as battery quality, operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature),
frequency of use, and test duration. Therefore replace used batteries
after one year at the latest.
Results are retained in memory together with the date and time even
when no batteries are inserted. All other settings are retained, too.
Think of the environment. Dispose of used batteries sensibly.
