Polytel® Data Transmission System
1 Introduction
1.1 System Overview
The Polytel® Data Transmission system is designed to allow patients with chronic
conditions to be monitored remotely. It consists of a series of wireless medical devices, an
Access Point designed to forward data to the data center, and of a monitoring service.
The PWA-08-01 is an Access Point, or “hub” that collects information from medical
devices in the home and forwards them over a regular telephone line.
The PWR-08-01 and PWR-08-02 are accessories that are incorporated into various host
devices, providing a simple way for a host to transmit its data wirelessly to a receiving
station.
The PWR-08-03 is an in-pouch accessory that provides a simple way for host device to
transmit its data wirelessly to a receiving station, allowing remote recording or monitoring
of host values.
When a measurement is taken on a compatible medical device, the radio module
automatically retrieves the new measurement and tries to forward it to the Access Point.
Should that Access Point be unreachable or unavailable, it will periodically retry the
transmission, and eventually shut itself down automatically.
1.2 Intended Use and User
The Polytel® system is intended to be used for the home monitoring of the values of
various host devices. Typical applications include remote monitoring of glucose levels in
diabetic patients, or monitoring of weight and BP in congestive heart failure patients.
The devices are intended to be operated by patients in their homes.
NOTE: Polymap Wireless is not responsible for the measurement, diagnosis,
or electrical safety of the Host Medical Devices. The Polytel® System is a Data
Transmission System only.

4 Operating Instructions
4.1 Installation and setup
The effective radio range of the Access Point and the matching medical devices is around
330 feet (100 meters). Please choose a location in your house that is centrally located, or
close to where the measuring devices will be used.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of explosion or fire do not use this
equipment in presence of flammable Anaesthetic mixture with Air or with
Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide.
1) Connect a telephone cord between the Access Point and a telephone jack on the
wall. An extra telephone outlet is provided on the back of the Access Point so you
can plug a telephone into the same outlet.
2) CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
3) Connect the 6VDC power to the back of the unit, and plug the AC Adapter into a
regular AC outlet. When the device is connected, expect all the front-panel LEDs
to light momentarily, with the leftmost (Power) LED remaining on, and the 2nd
LED (Radio) blinking at roughly one-second intervals (see Figure 4).
4) To mount the unit on the wall (OPTIONAL), two screws, mounted horizontally, on
1.5” (37mm) centers, can be used. Please use screws and anchoring systems
appropriate to the wall material. The screw head size should be between ¼” and
3/8” (5-9 mm).
4.2 Location of devices
For successful use of the system, it is vital to remember that at its core, the Polytel Data
Transmission System is wireless. This means that the transmitting device must be
located within radio range of the Access Point, normally 330 feet. Note that various
types of physical barriers, including walls, can reduce the effective range of the
devices. The variety of construction methods makes predicting the effective range in a
particular setting difficult.
Do not place Access Point on a metal surface or in a metal enclosure as
this is likely to interfere with correct operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the
equipment and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
8-1500-R - 9 -
Polytel® Data Transmission System
A good rule of thumb is that the access point should be located either in the same or an
adjacent room to that where the measuring device is located. You can confirm that the
devices are working together correctly by looking for the blinking light patterns on the
access point to change within a minute after a measurement.
4.3 A note on telephone lines
The PWA-08-01 Access Point is designed to operate over “regular” or traditional telephone
lines. If you use a Voice over IP (VoIP) provider for your telephone service, you must
confirm with your provider that “fax and modem support” is enabled for the telephone line
you intend to use. VoIP service quality varies widely, and Polymap Wireless cannot
guarantee that the device will operate correctly with every type of VoIP line.
NOTE: this device is not designed for connection to digital PBX systems, such as might be
found in an office.
4.4 Batteries for the PWR-08-03
The PWR-08-03 accessory is powered by two lithium cells (CR2 size). To open the battery
compartment, slide the lid in the direction indicated by the arrow labeled “OPEN” on the
lid, and allow the lid to open. Please insert each battery with the negative side (–) down and
its positive end (+) up, as shown in figure 6. If the two negative ends or the two positive
ends of the batteries touch one another, the device will not operate. A set of batteries is
expected to last several months. To close the battery compartment, bring the lid gently
down against the batteries, and slide it in the direction opposite the “OPEN” arrow until the
lid stops.
4.5 Usage of PWA-08-01 Access Point
In normal use, there is no intervention required by the user. Nonetheless, indicator lights
are provided to give the user some sense of the correct operation of the device. There are
four indicator lights on the front panel of the Access Point. These are, respectively:
POWER, RADIO, TELEPHONE, and ERROR (see figure 4)
POWER (Green) Always on in normal operation
RADIO (Green) Blinks roughly once per second, more blinking while data is being
received
TELEPHONE
(Green)
ERROR (Red) Comes on when data was received by the Access Point but not
Blinks when the device is connecting to the server to transfer its
data. Solid while the device is connected and transferring data
(usually only a few seconds)
successfully transferred to the data center. This will occur, for
example, when the telephone is in use, or there is some other
congestion on the network. The Access point will keep trying,
every few minutes, until it succeeds in transferring the data. Note
that the forty most recent measurements are stored until they are
transmitted.
A rapidly flashing red light indicates that the telephone cord is not
8-1500-R - 10 -
Polytel® Data Transmission System
correctly connected.
In normal operation, the leftmost, or POWER light, will remain on, and the second light
(RADIO), will blink roughly once per second. During the data transfer, the RADIO light
will blink in other patterns. The PHONE light is used to indicate usage of the telephone,
and the ERROR light is used to indicate a data transfer error.
Note that data transfer errors are expected to occur when phone lines or the network are
congested, and should not be a concern unless they persist for more than one hour. Should
the error light persist for more than an hour, please contact the agency that provided you
with this equipment.
If the ERROR light comes on the first time the device is used, the most likely
explanation is that it is not correctly connected to a telephone jack.
4.6 Indicator light on PWR-08-03
The device contains a small LED. This indicator will light shortly after you take a
measurement on the host. It will turn itself off completely after the data is successfully
transmitted. Should the data fail to transmit immediately, the device will schedule multiple
retries, and the light will come on again several times for short intervals.
LED Meaning
Solid (maximum 20 seconds) Retrieving data from host
Fast blink (1 per second) Looking for a receiver
Very fast blink (2 per second) Transmitting data
Slow blink (1 every 10 seconds) Waiting for a retry (previous attempt did not find
receiver)
4.7 Retry Schedule
Immediately after a new measurement is taken, the unit will attempt to contact the receiver
or access point. Should this fail, it will retry after waiting for one minute. Failing that, it
will wait two minutes before retrying. Should all of these transmission attempts fail, the
measurement will be stored and the device will turn itself off automatically. Stored
measurements are time stamped and transmitted along with the next measurement.
If you know you have measurements stored and not yet transmitted, you can wake up the
device and transmit the stored measurements without taking a new measurement. Please
consult the documentation of each device for specifics instructions on how to do this.
4.8 Operation in France, Spain or Japan
The device uses a frequency hopping protocol in the 2.4GHz band. Some of the channels
used are not allowed in France, though they are allowed elsewhere. Please notify Polymap
Wireless of your intent to use the device in this country so that it can be reconfigured
appropriately.

Polytel® Data Transmission System
4.9 Troubleshooting
4.9.1 PWA-08-01 Access Point
The PWA-08-01 Access Point incorporates a red “ERROR” LED. This light indicates that
the device has received data from a measuring device but has not yet been able to transmit
it. This failure may be a normal occurrence (the phone number the unit dialed was busy
and it’s waiting to try again) or it may indicate a failure that requires user interaction.
Note that Access Points will try repeatedly to deliver the data they are holding until they
are successful.
The process of troubleshooting the operation of an Access Point involves being able to
watch the colored LEDs on its front panel. Troubleshooting can be made significantly
easier if an ordinary telephone is plugged into the second telephone jack, allowing you to
listen to the operation of the device.
