Communications Between Meter and Computer

I am unable to establish communications when connecting my meter to my computer. What's the problem?

  • Be sure you are using a OneTouch Interface Cable. Other cables will not work.
  • Be sure the cable is plugged into the meter. Check the stereo plug to ensure that it is completely plugged in.
  • Depending on the type of meter you are connecting, you must either turn off or on the meter before attempting communication. Refer to your Quick Reference Guide for detail.
  • Be sure that you do not have a version of InTouch® Software (the predecessor to OneTouch® Diabetes Management Software) installed and running at the same time as OneTouch Software. If you are running this older software, close it and re-attempt connection.
  • If you are running other programs that use communication (such as HotSync® or ActiveSync®) you may need to disable them.
  • Check the COM Port settings.

Refer to General Troubleshooting Tips for information on how to perform system maintenance (suggested only for advanced computer users).
