Patient training
The Genesis DM begins the process of uploading data as soon as it detects the device. The audio and
text prompts inform the patient that the upload is in progress and then announces when the data upload
is finished. If the patient fails to attach the device and the monitor times out, Genesis DM moves on to
onto the next scheduled activity in the monitoring session. The following table contains glucose meter
prompts.

Note
The meter must be OFF when you attach it to its connector cable. If
not, the device will not transmit readings.
Until the patient turns the meter on, the Genesis DM monitor
CANNOT detect the device. The monitor will prompt the patient to
verify the cable connection to the com port. However, as soon as the
device is on and monitor detects it, the prompt will stop.
The meter does not transmit readings when the batteries are low.
Instruct the patient to follow the manufacture's recommendations and
instructions to maintain battery power.
The meter must remain off during transmission. It is also important
that the patient does not press any buttons during transmission.
