Your Paradigm Link™ Blood Glucose Monitor arrives with " " turned "
."
Thus, when a new blood glucose result is displayed, the meter will send the
result to your pump. The new result will flash on the meter display while the
meter is sending the result to your Paradigm
®
Model 512 or higher Pump. The
meter will stop flashing when the pump receives the result, or after 60 seconds.
A pump is only capable of receiving a blood glucose result if you have entered
the meter’s ID number into the pump. No one else’s pump can receive your
blood glucose result, unless they enter your meter’s ID number into their pump.
Please refer to your Pump User Guide or the Paradigm Link™ Getting Started
Poster to learn how to enter the meter’s ID number into your pump.
NOTE:

result is sent to the pump.
