Been on this pump for a few weeks and suddenly realised I should be able to download my data as can't see it on the meter. Well, I've done everything I'm supposed to do several times and I'm drooping over a very hot laptop and I'm no nearer to downloading.
I could give the company a ring tomorrow but I want my downloads and I want them NOW!!!!!! the last 3 mornings I've woken with b.gs of 15- 20+ for no reason, (sorry about italics, I can't cancel it..arrggh) and I'd like to see if there's a reason.
The manual says connect the charger thing. Done that ( at least 6 times). It times out every time.
Had few problems but I was quite happy until this evening and I would be so grateful for a clever Insight user to help me!
The meter regularly tells me the pump is out of range when it's next door to the meter or even in a very close pocket, and I'm wondering if this could ave anything to do with the problem?!?!

Thank you soo much for any help or even just for some sympathy!!!

Baby corns. Wrong, wrong, wrong in so many ways!!
Having experienced a similar I was informed the software I had bought from them was out of date?! They sent a new version.
I wouldn't hold your breath.

Have you installed Accu-Chek 360 connection manager from the cd rom the company sent you.
Each time I want to download my meter to laptop I have to click on the connection manager icon on my laptop. On task bar a lighthouse icon will appear when it's running. I then also click on accu-chec 360 management system. Connect meter, then when 4 chevrons go green click download device.

I've not had your 2nd problem but try rebooting meter by holding power button for 5 seconds.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply Dean! In all the excitement, I ignored the cd rom so I'll dig it out and have a go!
Not a great tech expert but I'll give it a bash!!
Thanks again,
Sue

I downloaded the cd then used the smart pix device which was sent along with my pump. I have no idea if I needed to do this as well as download the cd as the instructions were as clear as a diabetic having a hypo! Lol
But I got my data.
Christ it's difficult to interpret compared to the libre!

If anyone wants to tell me about using diasend instead and how that works, then please do!

If you find a fix please pass it on as recently I have been having problems connecting the handset too. It's a replacement handset as the original one wasn't calibrating so accu-chek sent out a new one, it connected to pc ok to transfer all data to new handset bit won't connect anymore, just get a message saying device may have failed or Windows doesn't recognise the device! Very frustrating. Accu-chek have been no help saying I should use the finepix or something which I don't have and they don't supply now so am in limbo!
