BATTERY USE & REPLACEMENT
The Batteries 
The BioScanner2000 cholesterol monitor requires two (2) AAA batteries. To install or replace the batteries, see below.

Note: Your batteries will have a longer life due to BioScanner2000 automatic shut-down feature. Your BioScanner2000 will automatically turn off after two minutes of non-use (after the test-strip is removed).

When to Replace the Batteries 
When the battery begins to lose energy, a message will appear across the top of the display screen reading BATTERY LOW.  When this message appears, the unit will continue to work for a short time, until the message changes to CHANGE BATTERY.  At this time, you will have to replace the batteries, because the instrument will not allow you to continue until you install new batteries.

WARNING! Keep batteries out of reach of children. Some of the contents of the batteries are poisonous and could cause serious injuries. If swallowed, immediately contact physician or your local Poison Control Center.

 

Proper placement of batteries in the back of the BioScanner2000.

To replace the batteries, do the following:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the cholesterol instrument by depressing the spring clip down and pulling towards the serial number label.
2. Remove the old batteries from the compartment and safely discard the batteries.
3. Place the new batteries into the battery compartment with the "+" (or "positive") side to the left on the top battery and the "+" facing to the right on the bottom battery as marked inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover.
5. The next time you turn on your instrument, the INSTALL MEMO CHIP message should appear (if the MEMo Chip is not already installed).
6. The system is now ready for use. 
   Note: The time/date and memory will not be erased when the batteries are changed.

THE MEMo CHIP
Each package of BioScanner2000 Test Strips contains a small color-coded plastic rectangle with a connector. This is called the MEMo Chip.

The MEMo Chip contains the settings for the test strips in each package.

What does the MEMo Chip do? 
When inserted properly in your BioScanner2000, the MEMo Chip does the following:

• Tells the instrument what test is to be run i.e., "Glucose," "Total Cholesterol," "Ketone," etc. 
• Identifies the Lot Number and Expiration Date of the strips.
• Sets the calibration curve for the specific lot. 
• Controls test sequences and timing. 
• Locks out all expired test strips. 
• Establishes the accuracy range of the instrument.

The MEMo Chip allows you to be sure you have the proper settings for the strip you are using.

Using the MEMo Chip

Find the slot on the right side of the instrument and insert the connector of the MEMo Chip into the slot with the side marked "TOP" facing up. Push firmly, but gently, until the chip is fully inserted. Be careful not to bend the connector.

Guidelines for using the MEMo Chip:

• The MEMo Chip must be in place while doing a test.
• Use only the MEMo Chip that came with each package of strips. The strip and MEMo Chip must come from the same lot number. If the lot numbers are different for the test strip and the MEMo Chip, the instrument will display WRONG STRIP.
• If your MEMo Chip has expired, the instrument will display EXPIRED LOT.
• If your MEMo Chip is lost or missing, please call our Customer Service/Technical Support representatives.
