Meter option
You can set up your pump to automatically receive your blood
glucose reading from the linked meter. This meter may not be
available in all countries. Check with your local Medtronic
Diabetes representative. Your pump is set at the factory with the
meter option turned off. See the Add, delete, review meter IDs
section in this chapter to turn the meter option on, and to enter your meter ID. Programming your meter ID
links your pump to the meter. Each meter has its own unique ID. You can link up to three meters to your
pump. If you do not link the meter to your pump, you must enter your blood glucose readings manually.
When the pump is idle (at the HOME screen), it will beep or vibrate when it receives a blood glucose reading
from the meter. The reading will appear on the pump screen. If your BG reading is not within your set BG
Target range, the pump beeps three times. For BG readings that are above the set BG Target range, use the
Bolus Wizard feature to enter a correction bolus.
NOTE: The use of RF (radio frequency) devices with the pump reduces pump battery life.
You have to turn on the meter option to add, delete or review the meter ID(s) programmed in your pump.
The meter ID is printed on the back of the meter. See the user guide that came with your meter for detailed
information on how to use it.
Meter rules
If you want your pump to communicate with the meter, the following conditions must apply:
1 The meter option must be turned on and programmed. Refer to the instructions in this section.
2 Your pump must be within 1.2 meters (4 feet) of your meter to receive the blood glucose reading.
3 The pump cannot have a LOW BATTERY alert condition.
4 When programming a bolus, the blood glucose measurement from the meter will appear as the default
blood glucose value on the ENTER BG screen. The pump will not display a reading that is older than 12
minutes on the ENTER BG screen.
5 Do not use the RF meter to send your blood glucose readings to the pump while onboard aircraft. Manually
enter your blood glucose.
CAUTION: The pump will not receive signals from the meter while it has a LOW BATTERY condition. To
ensure the meter communicates with the pump, make sure the pump does not have a low battery.
(Replacing the low battery with a new battery will restore meter-pump communication.)
