IMPORTANT: When a low battery warning displays on
the meter, replace the battery as soon as possible to
avoid a test result not being stored in the meter
memory.
First Things First: Talking to Your Compatible
Medtronic Device
Your C
L
meter is already set with the Send option
ONTOUR
INK
turned on. (To turn the option off, see page 21.) Every time the
meter displays a new blood glucose test result, the result is
automatically sent to your compatible Medtronic device.
However, your Medtronic device will only accept the glu-
cose result if the Meter Option in your device's Utilities
Menu is set to On and you have programmed the device with
the meter's ID (serial) number. Up to three different meter
ID numbers, can be accepted.
1.
Program your meter ID number into your compatible
Medtronic device. The ID number is the serial number
found on the left side of the back label of your meter. It
is a 6-digit numeric or alphanumeric number (0–9, A–F);
for example, 120462 or B12B3C. See the User Guide
for your Medtronic device for complete information on
this step.
2.
Set your meter to the same time and date as your Medtronic
device (see page 22 in this User Guide).
The Medtronic device can receive a glucose result only if
you have entered your meter's ID number into the device.
Conversely, no one else's insulin pump or continuous glucose
monitoring system can receive your glucose result, unless
your meter ID number has been entered into that device.

The meter uses a wireless signal to send the blood glucose
result to the Medtronic device. However, the Send option must
be set to ON (see page 21) and the meter and Medtronic de-
vice must be within 4 feet of each other. If you are not using
the link functionality on your Medtronic device, you may want
to turn the Send option off to save battery power.
Before You Begin
1.
Have all the materials you will need ready before you
begin testing. This includes your C
C
test strips, and the M
ONTOUR
M
lancets. You may also need C
ICROLET
solution to run a quality control check.
2.
Read your User Guide and all instructional materials
provided in your meter kit before testing.
3.
Let the meter and test strips adjust to the temperature
of the location where you are testing. Whenever the
meter is moved from one location to another, allow
20 minutes for the meter to adjust to the temperature
of that new location before performing a blood glucose
test. The meter has been designed to give accurate
results at temperatures between 5°C and 45°C.
4.
It is important not to use the test strips or control
solution if the expiration date printed on the bottle
label and carton has passed or if it has been six months
(180 days) since you fi rst opened the control solution
bottle. It will help to write the six month discard date
on the label in the area provided when you fi rst open
the control solution.
5.
Before testing, always wash your hands with warm
soapy water and dry them well.
