Wireless connectivity If the meter is equipped with WLAN functionality:
Wireless connectivity allows the meter to send data (test
results, patient IDs, operator IDs, etc.) to the data man-
agement system without the need to return the meter to
the base unit. This feature must be configured by the
system administrator. Observe the guidelines of your
facility for using wireless local area network connections.
For information about how to temporarily enable or disa-
ble this function, see page 42. For a description of the
Accu-Chek Inform II meter’s ability to connect to Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLAN, Wi-Fi), see appendix B.
Radiofrequency radiation
exposure information
The Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio
frequencies may contain emissions from microwave
ovens, heaters, and other noncommunication devices.
While these types of devices usually pose no threat of
interference as they are low-powered devices, the possi-
bility exists that some industrial high power systems may
wipe out any attempted communication use of a WLAN.
Therefore, perform a site survey and interference analysis
with a spectrum analyzer to view the entire spectrum,
looking for signals that might not only be within the fre-
quency range of the intended WLAN but also could be
near or at the same frequency and cause interference.
