Meter Maintenance
Battery
Your FreeStyle® Lite Meter comes with one preinstalled, #2032,
3 volt, lithium battery. The battery provides enough power for the
meter to perform about 500 tests. If your battery runs low, the battery
symbol (
) appears on every display screen until you change the
battery. When the battery runs low, the display backlight and test light
may not power on.
Important: When this symbol appears, or when the backlight and test
light begin to dim, you should replace the battery immediately.
To avoid losing the time and date settings, replace the battery within
•
one minute of removing the old battery.
If you take more than one minute to replace the battery, you may
•
need to reset the time and date to get the correct 7-, 14- and 30-day
averages. If the time and date settings are lost, the time and date
displays flash 12:00 and 00-00 until they are reset.
Removing the battery does not affect the meter’s memory log or
•
previously-stored user settings (such as date and time format).
Even if you lose your time and date settings – you can perform a
•
blood glucose test, and results will not be affected.
Replacing the Battery
Turn the meter over. Press in the battery
door clip to open. Swing the battery door up
to open and then off the meter.
To remove the battery, push the battery
downward to release the battery.

LO and HI Readings
Important: Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially
serious medical condition. The FreeStyle® Lite Meter displays results from
20 to 500 mg/dL.
If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL, LO will appear on the meter
display screen. This reading indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose).
LO Reading with Symptoms
If you have a LO reading and have symptoms
such as weakness, sweating, nervousness,
headache or confusion, then follow your doctor’s
Freestyle Lite Glucose Meter Instructions
recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.
LO Reading without Symptoms
If you get a LO reading, but have no symptoms of low blood glucose,
then retest with a new test strip on your fingers. If you still get a LO
reading, follow your doctor’s recommendation to treat hypoglycemia.
If your test is above 500 mg/dL, HI will appear on the display screen.
This indicates severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
HI Reading with Symptoms
If you feel symptoms such as fatigue, thirst, excess
urination, or blurry vision, then follow your
Freestyle Lite Glucose Meter Free
doctor’s recommendation to treat hyperglycemia.
HI Reading without Symptoms
Freestyle Lite Glucose Meter Manual
If you get a HI reading, but have no symptoms of high blood glucose,
