Downloading test results to a computer

The blood glucose test results stored in your monitor can be
downloaded to a computer. This way you can keep a perma-
nent record of long-term trends in your blood glucose values.
To transfer stored blood glucose test results to a computer,
you need the appropriate hardware and software for infrared
data transfer (please call our Diabetes Care Info-Line –
see Chapter 12 for details).

Install the software according to the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Locate the infrared interface on the
Accu-Chek Compact 12 .
Position the infrared adaptor less than 10 cm
away, so the two infrared windows are point-
ing toward one another.
Press the SET button and MEMO button at the
same time. The monitor turns on without
advancing a test strip from the drum. The
monitor automatically downloads all stored
blood glucose test results to your computer.
Two arrows flash in the display during the
download. Once downloading has finished, the
monitor turns off automatically. A message is
displayed on the computer indicating that the
data transfer is complete.
The computer turns Accu-Chek Compact off.
If data transfer did not occur or was incom-
plete, the monitor turns off automatically after
5 minutes. To make the most of the download
feature, you must set the year, date and time
in your monitor.
