Uploading Your Meter to a Mac
UPLOADING YOUR METER TO A MAC
If you are using a Mac, there are a few additional steps to follow to set up your computer to upload
your compatible blood glucose meter.
NOTE Make sure to start up your Mac in 32-bit kernel mode whenever you want to upload your
meter. By default, most Mac computers start in 32-bit kernel mode.
STEP 1:
Get a serial cable from the meter manufacturer. You will need a
serial cable because most meter manufacturers that provide USB
cables do not provide Mac support.
STEP 2:
Get a USB-to-serial adapter that is compatible with your Mac
operating system. You will need a USB-to-serial adapter because
Mac computers do not have serial ports.
STEP 3:
Go to www.medtronicdiabetes.com/carelinksetup and click on the link for Setting Up & Uploading
on a MAC. Next, click on Uploading Your Meter & Multiple Devices. This will provide you with links
to any drivers you will need to install to use your USB-to-serial adapter for the MAC operating system
on your computer.
STEP 4:
When prompted, enter your Mac username and password. The username must be the Administrator
on your computer.
STEP 5:
Restart your computer when instructed.
STEP 6:
Plug the USB adapter for your meter cable into your USB port. Plug your meter serial cable into
the USB adapter.
NOTE The rst time you connect the cable after installing the driver, you may see a screen
that tells you that a new network interface has been detected. Do the following:
•
Click Network Preferences. The Network window is displayed.
•
Click Apply.
•
Close the Network window.
