The time is now...
Or is it? Having the wrong time or date on your Ascensia Bayer Contour, Contour XT, Contour NEXT EZ or Contour NEXT ONE meter can cause issues when trying to sync with Glooko. By following a few easy steps, you can make sure your data is there when you expect it to be.
In order to change the date and time on your Ascensia Bayer Contour, Contour XT, Contour NEXT EZ or Contour NEXT ONE meter, simply follow the below instructions.
Step 1) Turn the meter on in Settings mode
Make sure the meter is OFF. Press and hold the M button for 3 seconds. A complete display will briefly appear, then numbers will flash in the top left corner of the display.
NOTE: Depending upon the Contour meter that you own, the order in which these settings appear may differ.
Furthermore, this is a cyclical process, so you must click through all previous settings to get to the specific setting you are trying to adjust. For example if you only wanted to change your time after setting the date, you must click through the settings, turn off your meter, and hold M again for three seconds to re-enter the settings.

Setting the Date:
