The CardioChek requires two (2) AAA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries.
Battery Use and Replacement
When to Replace the Batteries:
The analyzer will give you an indication on the display that the batteries
need to be changed. When the display reads CHANGE BATTERY, no
more tests can be run until the batteries are changed. Always replace the
batteries with high quality alkaline batteries. It is recommended to keep a
spare set of batteries on hand. To extend battery life, remove the test strip
as soon as a result is displayed. The time/date and results stored in memory
will not be erased when the batteries are changed.
How to Turn the Analyzer OFF:
The batteries will have a longer life due to the analyzer’s
automatic shut down feature. The analyzer will perform a 10 second
count down and turn OFF after three minutes of idle time (without a test
strip inserted). To stop shut down press either button (
