2. Alere AirLink Description
The Alere AirLink is a wireless device that transmits and receives radio frequency signals at very
low power with main features as shown in Figure 1.
1. The Alere Airlink is powered by a 3 V Lithium Coin Battery. The battery is placed inside the
top plastic cover of the Alere AirLink and secured by a slide in slide out door.
2. The Alere AirLink has two connector plugs to plug into the INRatio2 meter.
A serial plug and a power plug. The power plug passes through the Alere AlirLink to the INRatio2
meter; it doesn’t supply the AirLink with any power. The serial plug is powered by the Lithium Coin
Battery and doesn’t withdraw any power from the INRatio2 meter.
4. The INRatio2 AC adapter plugs into the DC power jack connector of the Alere Airlink and
passes power to the INRatio2 meter through the power plug.
