Install another battery, and always make sure that you install a new battery into the monitor.
OFF NO POWER
The battery has no more energy. Replace the battery immediately. Follow the directions on the screen.
Check to make sure that the time is correct on the screen. Reset the time if necessary.

• Your settings were cleared using the Clear Settings feature, and the settings have not been entered
again.
• A download attempt from the PC is incomplete (applicable only to the optional CareLink Personal
software, not available in all locations. Check with your healthcare professional).
WEAK BATTERY
May occur if you install a battery that is less than full strength. The monitor will operate normally, but the
battery life will be shorter than normal. Always make sure to install a NEW battery in the monitor.
Viewing your system alarm history
The system allows you to view information on previous system alarms/alerts that you have received,
including the name of the alarm, and the date and time it occurred. This is done using the ALARM HISTORY
screen. You can view up to 36 of your most recent alarms.
The list below shows what each system alarm displayed on your monitor means.
Alarm History display = this alarm
• Axx = Any A-Alarm
• B-Err = BUTTON ERROR
