How to Set the Time on the OneTouch Ultra Mini

The One Touch Ultra Mini is a glucose meter primarily for people with diabetes. This device allows users to check the glucose level of their blood. The Ultra Mini comes preset with the date and time--it's not necessary to set it before using it for the first time. However, Life Scan, the manufacturer, recommends checking the date and time frequently to make sure the device is correctly set. If the time isn't correct, you'll need to set it.
