saves all values entered up to that point and immediately
switches to test mode. Upon exiting test mode the monitor
screen goes blank and does not return to setup mode.
2. If in Data Review mode when the test strip is inserted, the
monitor immediately switches to test mode. Upon exiting
test mode the monitor screen goes blank and does not return
to Data review mode.
3. Battery low icon is displayed in every mode except setup.
4. Once battery level goes below the threshold that triggers the
"low battery" warning, it continues to give the warning until
the monitor becomes unusable due to low battery.
