FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What enhancements were made to the transmitter?

This is a software update to the Guardian™ Link 3 transmitter. The enhancements were made to address repeated requests for BG values in Auto Mode.

How do I know if I have the old transmitter?

You may check which version you currently have connected to your pump by viewing the sensor status screen. If you see version 2.1.A or 2.1.C, you are using the old transmitter. If your version number states 2.2.A you are currently using the new transmitter. To access sensor status, follow these prompts on your pump: MENU→STATUS→SENSOR.

This doesn’t impact people using our other products like the Guardian™ Connect.
