OneTouch® DataLink® Connection Overview
OneTouch® DataLink® provides connectivity between SureStepPro® bedside units and
OneTouch® Flexx™ meters and OneTouch® MeterLinkTM software running on the
OneTouch® DataLink® workstation. Using a connection module, you can transfer data
between a meter and the workstation through analog phone lines using modems; through
an existing network (via an Ethernet connection) using a personal computer or network
device; or locally through the workstation serial port. If you are using a OneTouch®
Flexx™ meter, you can transfer data directly to the workstation through a serial cable, or
through the network via an access point using OneTouch® DataLink® Wireless units.
Figure 1 shows options for transmitting point-of-care blood glucose test results from the
meters to the workstation, either through a connection module’s infrared communication
port, through a serial cable, or through wireless communication.

OneTouch® Flexx™ Meter
The following procedures explain how to transfer data between the OneTouch® Flexx™
meter and the workstation, using a connection module, a serial cable, or the OneTouch®
DataLink® Wireless unit.
Using a Connection Module
A connection module allows you to transfer data from remote locations, either through
modems or over a network. When the meter is placed in the connection module, the
infrared ports on the meter and connection module are aligned and data is transferred via
infrared communication.
The connection module may be connected to a PC server, serial server/client, modem, or
directly to the workstation’s serial port.
■ NOTE: If you are transferring data over a modem and a fax machine is sharing the same
analog line as the modem, do not transfer data while a fax is being sent or
received.
Place the meter into the connection
module cradle.
The connection module turns on the meter.
• If you have an Ethernet configuration, data
is automatically transferred to the
workstation through the network.
• If a modem is detected, the connection
module automatically dials the receiving
modem (provided the number was
downloaded to the meter from the
workstation, or entered at the meter).
If the line is busy, the connection module
retries up to 20 times at 30-second
intervals before it times out.
If the receiving modem phone number was
not downloaded to the meter from the
workstation, the Enter Phone # screen
appears.
Enter the phone number for the receiving
modem, then press Ok.

message appears when data transfer is
complete.
Remove the meter from the connection module cradle and press Cont.
If the meter is off when you remove it from the connection module, you can verify that
the transfer was successful by turning on the meter. If an error occurred during the
transfer, the following message appears after the status screen: Last Data Transfer mm/
dd/yy hh:mm Failed. Additionally, the status of the last upload appears at the status
screen.
Using a Serial Cable
A serial cable may be used to transfer data between the meter and the workstation. Use the
built-in serial cable in the cradle to connect to a PC server, serial server/client, modem, or
the workstation’s serial port. Or, use the OneTouch® DataLink® serial cable for a direct
connection to the workstation.
Connect the serial cable (either the
OneTouch® DataLink® serial
cable or the cable in the cradle) to
the meter.

FCC/IC NOTICE:
This device meets the body worn human exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper
operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this guide will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s
recommended limits. To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, this device has been tested for compliance
with FCC RF Exposure (SAR) limits in the typical configuration. It is recommended that the antenna must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter.
NOTE: The radiated output power of this wireless device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless,
this device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact (ie, touching the wireless unit) during normal
operation is minimized.
NOTE: LifeScan and Lantronix are not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this
equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES:
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Before a
device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
next to the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: for version 1 unit–FCC ID: R68WIBATT, IC ID: 3867A-WIBATT and for version 2 unit–FCC ID: R68WIBATTV2,
IC ID: 3867A-WIBATTV2.
