When the GMA sends your information, the power level
of the batteries is sent along with your reading. Your
monitoring service may tell you it is time to replace the
batteries, even before you notice any problems.
That’s it—you don’t have to do anything more. After the
reading reaches the receiving station, the GMA light turns
off. A couple of minutes later, the PC disappears from the
glucose meter.
3.5 If the data was not sent
If your transmission was not sent successfully, the GMA
will try again 1 minute later and then again 2 minutes later.
If all three tries fail, the GMA saves the reading along with
the time and date it was taken and turns itself off. The next
time you take a new reading, it sends both the new and
the stored readings.
3.6 Disconnected glucose meter
Any readings taken when the GMA is not connected to
the OneTouch Ultra are stored along with the date and
time taken. The next time you take a new reading after
the devices are connected again, both the stored and new
readings are sent to the receiving station.
3.7 When You’re Traveling
If you are not at home or near your regular receiving
station, the GMA can send the readings to a different
station.
Please speak with your monitoring service to set this up.
