If no blood glucose test results are in memory, the number of remaining Test Sensors flashes.
7 CHAPTER CHAPTER Reset Time-Specific Averages The Meter calculates four time-specific averages identified as A 1, A 2 , A 3, and A 4 . These times are preset for meal times but may be changed to meet your schedule. To be included in the average, the testing time must occur within one hour before or after the specific set time. The preset times are: A 1 A 2 6 : 00 1 2 : 00 A 3 A 4 1 8 : 00 2 1 : 00 Reset Time-Specific Averages 7 5. Press and release Button A. The hour flashes.

Press Button B to make the change and press Button A again to move to the next feature.
9 CHAPTER CHAPTER Review Time-Specific Averages TIME-SPECIFIC AVERAGES The average of all blood glucose results and the time-specific averages are based on a two-week testing period. A minimum of three tests must be run within a two-week period to give an average. For example: if three tests are run within two weeks for A 1 and A 4 time periods only, then A 2 and A 3 will not display in your review. 1. Move Slide forward to enter Features Mode.
