How do I set up the meter for the first time, including date, time, and alarms?

With the meter off and no test strip inserted, press the S (SET) button to enter setting mode. You will be guided through setting the year, month, and day, then time format (12h or 24h), then the hour and minute, then the buzzer on/off, up to four reminder alarms, and finally the backlight on/off — pressing M to adjust values and S to confirm each step. If the meter is idle for 3 minutes during setup, it will switch off automatically. (Page 13)
