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.

international standards for electromagnetic compatibility. The CareLink USB (MMT-7306)
conforms to the essential requirements of the Council Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE).

The following information is provided in accordance with Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations.

4

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.

This device does not interfere with any radio frequency signals transmitted from outside
sources. These FCC standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against excessive
radio frequency interference and prevent undesirable operation of the device from unwanted
electromagnetic interference.

IMPORTANT: Changes or modications not expressly approved by Medtronic Minimed, Inc.
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 signicant 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,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
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,

5

communication problems can typically be resolved by ensuring that the distance between
transmitter and receiving device is less than 1.8 meters (6 feet), and by turning o or moving
away from other RF transmitting devices. You can also reorient or relocate the CareLink USB and/
or the transmitting device to try to correct the interference. Note that RF interference will not
cause any incorrect data to be processed and will not cause any harm to your CareLink USB.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.

amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To access
the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured eld strength in the location in which the CareLink USB is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the CareLink USB should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures
may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the CareLink USB or the transmitting device from which it is receiving
signals.
