Accu-Chek Compact is a
completely new type of blood
glucose meter for people
with diabetes who test
their own blood glucose
regularly. We have
designed it to be as
easy and safe to use as
possible. You will
quickly discover that
Accu-Chek Compact
is a reliable blood
glucose meter that
you can take any-
where.
Operating
Accu-Chek
Compact is easy:
there is just one
button to press to
perform a test. You
no longer have to
handle individual test
strips, as they now
come conveniently
loaded in a drum. Each
drum holds 17 strips and
two simple steps are all
it takes to insert the drum into the meter.
Coding occurs automatically. When you want to
take a blood glucose reading, just press
the button and a test strip moves from the
drum into the correct position. Once you have
completed the test, just press the button again
and the strip is ejected automatically. Your results
are stored in memory and can be transferred to
your computer if you wish. Accu-Chek Compass
Software is available separately. Accu-Chek
Compact stores up to 100 test results together
with date and time.
We recommend that you use an Accu-Chek
Softclix lancing device to obtain capillary blood
samples. Blood collection with an Accu-Chek
Softclix lancing device is virtually painless.
With Accu-Chek Compact you have all you need
to monitor your blood glucose quickly and
simply, anywhere, at any time.

Important!
This label highlights important information
that will help you get the most out of your
meter.
Please take time to read this Manual and the
instructions that came with your test strip drums.
Also, when you have a quiet moment, practice
testing. To help you learn, check the instructions
and other information in this Manual against the
description of the meter’s parts on pages 2-5.
This User’s Manual gives you full
details on how to operate
Accu-Chek Compact. It also tells you how
to clean and look after your meter. At the
back of the Manual is a list of all possible
error messages with recommendations for
troubleshooting.
Please read carefully all text preceded by the
following symbols:
Warning!
This warns of a situation that may pose a risk to
your health (e.g. as a result of you calculating
the wrong insulin dose).
Caution!
This symbol indicates that your meter is
at risk of being damaged (e.g. through
improper cleaning), or that there may
be a problem during testing.
2Inserting or replacing batteries
If the meter is on, turn it off.
Press lightly on the lid of the battery
compartment and slide it in the direction of
the arrow . Open the battery compartment
.

Remove any used batteries.
Insert two batteries (type AAA).
Make sure that the minus (-) pole of the battery
is next to the minus contact in the battery
compartment.
A new set of batteries provides enough power
to carry out a minimum of 500 blood glucose
tests. When battery power is low, the battery
symbol will appear. You can then perform
a maximum of 50 more blood glucose tests.

2Inserting or replacing batteries
To keep things simple, we recommend you
use up any current drum of strips before
replacing the batteries. Otherwise, it may
take the meter a long time to advance the
first test strip from the next drum, and the
“use-by” date warning may also be lost.
(See Chapter 3).
Replacing
the batteries
Important!
15
When you replace the
batteries, your stored
results are retained
in memory. However,
you will need to
re-enter the date
and time. If you fail
to do so, any
blood glucose
test results you
obtain from this
point forward will
be displayed and
saved without the
date and time. In
this case, the test
results saved in
memory will be
numbered consec-
utively so you can
still see the order in
which you took the
readings.
