3 What is the MyCareLink Relay home
communicator?
The MyCareLink Relay home communicator is an
electronic device that transfers information between
your implanted heart device and the Medtronic
CareLink™ network (an Internet-based secure
server). The communicator allows your doctor to
manage your care remotely.
The communicator is designed to connect
wirelessly to your implanted heart device
automatically when your implanted heart device is
within range of the communicator.
The communicator transmits your implanted heart
device information to the Medtronic CareLink
network using a cellular phone network (by default)
or through your home WiFi network (optional setup).
For instructions on how to connect the
communicator to WiFi, see Chapter 5, “Optional:
Connecting the communicator to WiFi”, page 10.

How do I use the communicator?
By keeping the communicator plugged in and within
about 3 meters (10 feet) of where you sleep,
transmissions of your implanted heart device data
will occur automatically.
If you are requested to do so by your clinician, it is
possible to send a transmission manually (see
Chapter 7, “Sending a manual transmission”,
page 16).

When the light ring starts to spin and a short
tone plays, release the button.
Note: If you press the button and the bottom of
the light ring flashes green 3 times with a 4 part
tone playing, the communicator is busy. Wait
and try again later.

progress bar will start to fill in, indicating that the
data is being sent from your implanted heart
device to the communicator.

part rising tone plays.
Notes:
• The communication process typically
takes 3 to 12 minutes. Stay within range of
the communicator during this process.
• After the transmission is successful, you
can leave the area. The communicator will
send your implanted heart device data to
the Medtronic CareLink network where
your doctor or clinic can access it.
• If the progress bar does not fill completely
and a 3 part, descending tone plays, the
transmission was not successful. Go back
to Step 1.
