Based on the provided reference, the video focuses on setting the time and date on a ReliOn Premier Classic meter and mentions the buttons involved, but it does not explicitly detail how to change the battery.

To provide you with the correct information, I need more context. Since there are different ReliOn Platinum models, the battery replacement process may vary. Here are a few possibilities, along with general guidance. However, always consult your meter's user manual for specific instructions.

If you meant, "How to change the battery on a ReliOn Premier Classic Meter", the video mentions there are three buttons on the meter but doesn't describe how to change the battery.

General Steps for Changing Batteries in Blood Glucose Meters (Note: This may not be specific to your ReliOn Platinum model):

  1. Identify the Battery Compartment: Look for a small door or panel on the back or side of the meter. It's often secured with a small screw or latch.

  2. Open the Compartment: Use a small screwdriver (if needed) or your fingernail to open the battery compartment.

  3. Remove the Old Battery(ies): Take out the old battery or batteries. Note the orientation (+ and -) for correct placement of the new batteries.

  4. Insert the New Battery(ies): Insert the new battery or batteries, making sure the polarity is correct.

  5. Close the Compartment: Securely close the battery compartment door or panel.

  6. Test the Meter: Turn on the meter to ensure it powers up correctly. You may need to reset the time and date. According to the reference video, setting the time on the meter is "a fairly simple operation" utilizing the three buttons on the meter.

Because I don't have specific, step-by-step instructions for your specific ReliOn Platinum meter model, consult your user manual, the ReliOn website, or contact ReliOn customer service.
