About meters
Bayer's CONTOUR

NEXT LINK Wireless Meter (Model No. 6201/9624), the LifeScan OneTouch

meter, or the BD Paradigm Link
™
meter can be programmed to communicate wirelessly to the Guardian
®
REAL-Time System. When the wireless feature is turned on, glucose values transmitted from these meters
to the Guardian monitor are stored in memory and used for glucose sensor calibration.
Your monitor is set at the factory with the meter option turned off. If you have turned your meter option
on, you should turn off the wireless feature when using your glucose sensor. By doing so, you can manually
enter calibration glucose values when glucose is stable and not changing rapidly.
Instructions for turning the wireless feature OFF are outlined below.
• From the main menu, select UTILITIES and press ACT
• Scroll to METER OPTION and press ACT.
• Select OFF and press ACT.
You can set up your monitor to wirelessly receive your blood glucose reading from Bayer's CONTOUR

glucose meters (see the Meter rules section in this chapter). These meters may not be available in
all countries. Check with your local Medtronic Diabetes representative. Programming a meter ID into your
monitor links your monitor to the meter and allows fingerstick blood glucose calibration values to be
automatically transmitted to your system. If you do not link a meter to your monitor, you must enter your
blood glucose readings manually. Each meter has its own unique ID. You can link up to three meters to
your monitor. The use of RF meters with the monitor reduces monitor battery life.
When the monitor is at the HOME screen, it will beep or vibrate when it receives a blood glucose
measurement from the meter. The measurement will appear on the screen.
You have to turn on the meter option to add, delete or review the meter ID(s) programmed in your
monitor. The meter ID is the serial number printed on the back of the meter. See the user guide that came
with your meter for detailed information on how to use it.
