Installing the CareLink USB on your computer
Your CareLink USB must be properly installed before it can transfer data from Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices. Please follow these installation instructions.
Do not plug your CareLink USB into your computer until you have installed the associated drivers and/or are prompted by the CareLink software.
It is recommended that the CareLink USB be plugged directly into a USB port on the computer. USB extension cables can be used if you do not
have easy access to your computer’s USB ports, but it is recommended that you use only USB cables with a covered female end (see illustration).
Installing the CareLink USB drivers:
• Refer to the user guide of your Medtronic Diabetes data management application software for instructions on how to load the CareLink USB
drivers onto your computer.
• After you have followed the user guide instructions, plug your CareLink USB into your computer.
The illustrations show the CareLink USB being plugged into the USB port on the back of a personal computer.
You may also plug your CareLink USB into USB ports on the front of your personal computer, or into any USB
port on a laptop computer.
Troubleshooting
• If you plug your CareLink USB into a USB port on your computer and it does not work, remove it and
plug it into another USB port on your computer. This is a rare but continuing issue with USB ports and
many type of USB devices. If your CareLink USB does not work in any USB port on your computer, call
the HelpLine for assistance.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may temporarily prevent the CareLink USB from transmitting. If you touch
the metal of the CareLink USB or the uncovered end of a USB cable while it is connected to your
computer, and your CareLiunk USB stops transmitting, remove it and plug it back in, being careful not to
touch the metal parts.
