How to Change the Time and Date on a OneTouch Verio Diabetes Meter

Although a OneTouch meter syncs with a Bluetooth-enabled headphone's OneTouch account's app to bring meter readings over, one thing it doesn't do is sync the times for when the time changes for daylight savings time - either in or out. However, with a little bit of extra help, you can change the time and date right on your device. Whether it's tweaking the minute for minor tweaks (because of battery issues) or because of hours (back and forth), this meter will allow you to change its time.

Steps

  1. 1
    Turn on your device. Although your device has an "OK" button on the front of it, it will often be found in different places for different subtypes of models. The power button also is labeled with a tiny power symbol, just to its right-hand top side. Hold down the OK button and after it shows the last meter reading, release the button and move on to the next step.
    • On the standard meter (the OneTouch Verio Flex), you'll find this to the right of the arrows up and down below the screen.
    • There's also the Verio IQ which is slimmer, but has the same buttons.
    • Avoid sticking a diabetes test strip into the machine, thereby turning the machine on into test mode. Doing so will cause the meter to not give you the intended results you want.
  2. 2
    Locate the down-arrow button, But don't confuse it with the ^ button. You will need both the OK and down arrow button in an upcoming step.
    • If you wait too long on the last-results screen, your device will go into standby until you turn it on again.

    Hold down the two buttons - OK and down arrow - until "SET" appears in the bottom row of the display and the hour starts flashing.
  4. 4
    Use the up and down arrow to adjust the hour, if necessary. If you don't need to adjust the hour, you can follow up with the next step.
  5. 5
    Press the OK button to advance through the hour - to the minute.
  6. 6
    Set the minute, by using the up and down buttons - as you did for the hour.
  7. 7
    Continue through all the other steps in the process. Your meter will want you to set the am/pm, year, month, and day (in that order) - pressing OK in between every time.
  8. 8
    Confirm your last setting by pressing OK one more time.
  9. 9
    Check the time, upon your next reading. The time will be displayed just above your current test result.
