2. Make sure your meter is on (set to “snd”) and working correctly.
3. Make sure the meter option in your pump is set to “on” and your meter ID is programmed correctly.
4. Make sure your pump does not have a low battery alert condition.
5. Make sure the meter is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the pump without anything in between such as another
person, a wall, etc.
6. Make sure there is no RF interference from other electronic devices that could prevent communication. These
devices can include some cell phones, cordless phones, televisions, computers, radios, other Paradigm pumps
meters and pump remote controls. To restore communication, simply move away from these other types of
devices, or turn them off.
7. Your pump will not show another reading Make sure the pump is idle and the HOME screen is blank
8. If your pump still does not receive your BG reading from the Paradigm Link meter, use the up/down buttons to
manually enter your BG (in the ENTER BG screen).
Alarms
Your pump has a sophisticated network of safety checks and systems. If the safety network detects anything
unusual, your pump notifies you of conditions that require your immediate attention. The backlight will illuminate
the pump screen and the alarm/alert message will appear on the screen.
NOTE - The STATUS screen will show any alarms and alerts that are active.
➤
Why are alarms important?
Your pump monitors activities and will notify you if there is an unusual
pump status or your attention is required. When an attention alarm is
active, INSULIN DELIVERY IS STOPPED and immediate operator interaction
is required.
An alarm will gradually become higher in pitch until you turn it off. If the
vibrate mode is on, all alarms and alerts will start as vibrations then change to
beeps. For your safety, if there is no response after ten (10) minutes, the
beeps will change to a siren. The siren will continue every minute until the
alarm is cleared.
when solid circles appear,
follow the instructions
on the screen.
