Connecting the CareLink USB to your computer
Plug the CareLink USB into your computer when prompted by the CareLink
software. It is recommended that the CareLink USB be plugged directly into a
USB port on your computer, rather than into a peripheral device, such as a USB
port on your monitor or keyboard. You can use a USB extension cable if you do
not have easy access to the USB ports on your computer, but it is recommended
that you use only a USB cable with a protected female end (see image).
Troubleshooting
• If you plug your CareLink USB into a USB port on your computer and it does not work,
remove it and plug it into another USB port on your computer. If your CareLink USB does
not work in any USB port on your computer, call the HelpLine for assistance or your local
Medtronic representative.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may temporarily prevent the CareLink USB from functioning. If
you touch the metal components of the CareLink USB or the uncovered end of a USB cable
while it is connected to your computer, and your CareLink USB stops transmitting, remove it
and plug it back in, being careful not to touch the metal parts.
• If you are a healthcare professional, see the CareLink Pro User Guide for more information
about supported devices, troubleshooting, or other instructions.
• This device cannot be used to upload pumps other than the MiniMed 600-series pumps.

RF interference from other wireless devices
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency band used by
the CareLink USB (MMT-7306) may prevent the CareLink USB from receiving the data sent by
Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices. If signicant RF interference is present,
the CareLink USB and the device it is communicating with will switch to another channel and
communications will continue.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by increasing the separation
between the equipment and receiver.
In the unlikely event that communications does not resume by switching to other channels,
