Chapter 11: Maintenance of the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor
Battery Life
The average alkaline battery life is approximately 60 days, based on an average of 9 tests per day and monitor being shut
off within 2 minutes of it not being used (depending on barcode usage). Battery life will vary based upon actual use.
Replacing the Batteries
Use the following procedure to install new batteries in the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor. The Precision Xceed Pro
Monitor requires two (2) AA alkaline batteries or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries (not supplied by
Abbott Diabetes Care).
1. Turn the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor off by pressing the On/Off
button on the keypad.
2. Turn the monitor over and remove the battery door.
3. Pull the blue tab to remove the batteries (Figure 1).
4. Discard the used batteries in compliance with your local government regulations.
5. Insert the new batteries on top of the strap, using the + and - symbols in the battery compartment to position the new
batteries with the correct polarity. Refer to Figure 2 below.
6. Align the battery compartment cover with the slots on the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor, then snap the cover into
place.
IMPORTANT
: Rechargeable batteries must be at room temperature before they are placed in the battery
compartment. The docking station does not charge the batteries.

Replacing the Port Protector
The port protector is designed to minimize the possibility of liquid entering the monitor through the strip port. Should
blood or control solution come in contact with the port protector, the monitor should be cleaned and the port protector
replaced with a new, dry port protector. After cleaning the monitor, dry the area around the port protector thoroughly.
1. Lift the port protector from its left or right edge.
2. Pull gently away until the protector separates from the monitor.
3. Rest the flat bottom of the new port protector on the ledge of the test strip port.
4. Gently push both sides of the port protector until you hear the tabs snap into place. There should be no gap between
the port protector and the monitor around the edges
