Meter rules
If you want your pump to communicate with the Paradigm Link meter, the following conditions must
apply:
1The meter option must be turned on and programmed. See “Meter option” on page 73 for
instructions.
2Your pump must be within 4 feet (1.22 meters) of your Paradigm Link meter to receive blood glucose
readings.
3The pump cannot have a LOW BATTERY alert condition.
4When programming a bolus, the blood glucose measurement from the Paradigm Link meter will
appear as the default blood glucose value in the ENTER BG screen. The pump will not display a
reading that is older than 12 minutes on the ENTER BG screen.
5Make sure the pump’s Meter Option is set to “Off” while onboard aircraft.
6Do not use the RF meter to send your blood glucose readings to the pump while onboard aircraft.
Manually enter your BG.
Add, delete, review meter IDs
The meter programming screens are very similar to those for the remote control. Make sure to
select “Meter Options” (in the UTILITIES MENU) when programming your Paradigm Link meter.
If you are not sure that your Paradigm Link meter ID is entered in your pump, check the REVIEW
METER ID screen.
You have to turn on the meter option to add, delete or review the Paradigm Link meter ID(s)
programmed in your pump.

press ACT. The METER ID MENU will appear.
CAUTION: The pump will not receive signals from the Paradigm Link 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.)
