Setting the time and date

Setting the time and date

3 

The time and date is not preset in new meters. You 

can still, perform blood glucose tests. In this case, 

however, the meter displays the time 0:00 (0:00am) 

and the date 0- 0. This means that test results are 

saved without a time and date. Averages cannot be 

calculated, and when downloaded to a computer, the 

statistical evaluation of test results is very restricted 

or cannot be performed at all.

So that test results are saved with a time and date, 

you must set the time and date and, if required, 

change the format in which they are displayed.

When you set the time and date for the first time, the 

factory defaults are displayed. 

The settings are made in the following order (default 

in brackets): 

1.  Time and date format (24-hour display with day-

month date format)

2. Time – hour, minute (0:00)

3. Year (year of manufacture)

4. Date – month, day (month of manufacture, day 15)

If you do not wish to set the time and date, proceed 

to Chapter 4 “Coding”.
