How to Silence the Alarm on a Freestyle Lite Meter

Diabetics need to test their blood glucose levels to determine when they should take insulin. The Freestyle Lite Meter is a portable blood glucose testing meter with several modes for easy use. Set up to five alarms, and several volume levels, to serve as a reminder to test your blood glucose levels. Silencing the tones can be useful if you have already remembered to test or if the sound becomes annoying.
