RF interference from other devices
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency band used
®
by the 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 transmitter.
Guardian REAL-Time monitors and MiniMed Paradigm REAL-Time insulin pumps
include a programmable "Weak Signal" alert that notifies you when one or more
transmitter 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 1.8 meters (six feet), and by
turning off or moving away from other RF transmitting devices. You can also reorient
or relocate the transmitter 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 31 cm (12 inches) from the
transmitter or receiving device while it is being used (greater separation distance may
be required for certain devices).
Medtronic declares that this product is in conformity with the essential requirements
of Directive 1999/5/EC on Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment.

Charger
The transmitter 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 one AAA
alkaline battery, size E92, type LR03 (Energizer brand recommended) to operate.
