You may want to explore this option after you have been
completely familiar with the basic functions of your
pump. It is important that you consult with your healthcare professional before using this feature.
Need to Know
To use the remote transmitter,
this feature must be turned
ON, and the Easy Bolus feature must be ON. You will
need to program a radio frequency code (RF ID) into your
pump to link your pump with
your remote transmitter.
The MiniMed Model 503 Remote Transmitter is an accessory item for
your MiniMed Paradigm Insulin Pump that allows you to program a
bolus or suspend and resume your pump without pressing any of the
pump’s buttons!
The remote transmitter sends signals to a receiver in your pump. This
is designed to add more freedom and flexibility to your daily activities. Of course, you can still program your pump by using the five
buttons on the pump keypad.

Using the Remote Transmitter
to Suspend/Restart the Pump
Your pump “looks” for a signal from the remote transmitter
every two to three seconds. This is why you need to press
and hold the
AACCTT
button on the remote transmitter before
you can program.
Continuing to hold the
AACCTT
button after the pump wakes
up may result in the pump returning to sleep mode.
If the wrong button is pressed, simply wait 30 seconds for
the command to time out.
