Remote transmitter 11 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 pumps buttons!
The remote transmitter sends signals to a receiver in your pump. This is designed to add more freedom and flexibility to your daily activi-
ties. Of course, you can still program your pump by using the five buttons on the pump keypad. To use the remote transmitter, this feature must be turned ON, and the Easy Bolus fea-
ture must be ON. You will need to program a radio fre-
quency code (RF ID) into your pump to link your pump with your remote transmitter.

Need to Know When the remote transmitter is in sleep mode, the green LED light will be off. After you have awakened your pump by pressing and holding the AACCTT button, the green LED light will glow and flash rapidly. When the battery is low, the LED will blink in a series of three quick flashes until the battery is replaced. When this happens, replace the battery in the remote transmit-
ter as soon as possible. If the LED blinks in a series of more than three quick flashes, call MiniMed. 44 Using the Remote Transmitter to Suspend/Restart the Pump 1. Press and hold AACCTT on the remote transmitter for at least three seconds to wake up the pump. When the pump is awake, it will beep or vibrate. S B ACT 2. To suspend pump delivery, press the SS button, then press AACCTT. Three audible beeps/vibrations will confirm that the pump is in suspend mode. 3. To resume basal delivery, press and hold AACCTT on the remote transmitter for three seconds. This will wake-up the pump. Next, press the SS button, then press AACCTT. The pump will beep/vibrate once and then will resume basal delivery. Need to Know 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. 55 Remote transmitter Care and Maintenance installing a new battery 1.
