Customize the Remote
Additional options let you customize how the iXL Remote
Controller operates:
Remote lock:
“Locks” the buttons on the remote. The default
setting is Off. This safety feature can help avoid accidentally
changing basal rates or giving boluses.
Scr
een time-out: The screen goes blank after a time interval
that you set, during which you have not pressed any buttons on
the remote. This setting preserves battery power by turning off
the screen when you are not using it. Choose an interval of 15,
30, or 60 seconds. Set it at the lowest setting (15 seconds) to
maximize battery life. The default is 30 seconds.
Press the Power button to turn the screen back on.
If it has been less then 5 minutes since the screen timed
out, pressing the Power button returns you to the same
screen you were using. If it has been longer than 5
minutes, the remote brings you to the Status screen.
Backlight time-out:
The backlight allows you to see the screen
in the dark and remains on while you are using the remote. To
turn it on, hold the Power button for three seconds. This setting
turns off the backlight when you have not used it for a time
interval that you set. Choose an interval of 15, 30, or 60 seconds.
Set at the lowest setting (15 seconds) to maximize battery life.
The default is 30 seconds.
