Does the meter lose its memory or the time and date setting when the battery is changed?
The stored results are kept in the meter at all times and cannot be lost even when the battery is changed. The time and date settings only remain saved as long as: No more than one minute is taken to change the battery, None of the buttons is pressed before the battery is inserted, A test strip is not inserted into the test strip guide without the battery inserted, The battery is inserted the right way up, i.e., with the + symbol facing upwards. If any of the above conditions is not met during a battery change, the date and time setting will be lost and must be set up again. Results stored without date and time cannot be used for calculation of the average. This could be problematic when results are analysed using diabetes software on the PC.
