RF Interference from other devices
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency
band used by the MMT-7703 MiniLink transmitter may prevent the
® ®
receiving device (Guardian REAL-Time monitor or MiniMed Paradigm
REAL-Time insulin pump) from receiving the glucose information sent
by the transmitter. Most cellular (mobile) phones and 900 MHz cordless
phones, when transmitting or receiving, may cause significant interruption
of transmitter-receiver communication. It is likely that other devices
operating in similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This
interference, however, will not cause any incorrect data to be sent and will
not cause any harm to your MiniLink.
Guardian REAL-Time monitors and MiniMed Paradigm REAL-Time insulin
pumps include a programmable "Weak Sensor" alert that notifies you
when one or more expected MiniLink transmissions were not received as
expected by the receiving device. (The receiving device will also issue
a "Lost Sensor" alert if communication is interrupted for approximately
40 minutes.)
Communication problems can typically be resolved by ensuring that the
distance between transmitter and receiving device is less than 6 feet
(1.8 meters), and by turning off or moving away from other RF transmitting
devices. You can also reorient or relocate the MiniLink and/or the
receiving device to try to correct the interference. Testing conducted with
several different cellular phones suggests that interference will not be a
problem if the phone is at least 12 inches (31 cm) from the transmitter or
receiving device while it is being used (greater separation distance may
be required for certain devices).
MiniLink charger
The MiniLink contains a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery that you
can recharge as needed with the charger. The charger has a green light
that shows the charging status and a red light that communicates any
problems during charging. If you see a red light, see the Troubleshooting
section. The charger needs a AAA or LR-03 battery to operate.
