1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the world of wireless medical monitoring. In
this pamphlet, you will learn how to use and maintain your
Polytel® GMA Glucose Meter Accessory.
The GMA is an easy-to-use accessory that lets you send
the glucose readings you take with your glucose meter
wirelessly to a receiving station.
No more worrying about writing down the test results and
carrying them in to your doctor every visit—it is all done
automatically in your own home.
There are three parts to sending your readings wirelessly:
• You measure your glucose on the LifeScan glucose
meter.
• The GMA receives the reading from the meter and
sends it wirelessly to the receiving station.
• The receiving station receives, stores, and sends
your readings to your service provider – usually your
doctor’s office or a monitoring service. The station is
a separate device that is either a self-contained box,
called an “access point,” or your personal computer,
cell phone, or handheld computer provided by your
monitoring service. Your monitoring service can
Polytel®GMA2
9-2520-3 October 2016 5
explain how to use the receiving station.
To use the GMA, all you have to do is take the reading
using LifeScan meter as usual. Everything else is done
automatically for you.
To make sure all data is sent to your provider, if the GMA
is unable to find a receiving station, it will save the reading
along with the date and time you took it. The old reading
will be sent along with the next reading.
1.2 Who is this for?
The GMA is intended for diabetic patients who want to
monitor their glucose levels remotely. It can be used by
patients in their homes and in their daily lives.
1.3 Configurations
The GMA is available in three different configurations,
which determine which glucose meters are supported.
Configurations are selected by inserting the proper cable
into the GMA: Cable must be firmly inserted until flush.

2 Parts of the GMA
Your GMA is easy to maintain, set up and use.
The most important part to pay attention to is the indicator
light on the device. Different blinking patterns tell you
when the GMA is sending data, whether it was sent
Polytel®GMA2
9-2520-3 October 2016 7
successfully or not, and when it is time to change the
batteries.
2.1 Visual indicators
The GMA has small blue and red indicator lights in the
pushbutton that blink in different patterns when it is doing
different things.
Figure 1: Indicator light indicates status of the
GMA. It may appear as blue or red, depending
(see next page).

3.1 Changing the batteries
The GMA uses two alkaline AAA batteries that should last
a couple of months.
Tip: Your batteries will last longer if you remove them if
you will not be using the GMA for a month or longer.
It is time to change the batteries when the red light on

the GMA blinks fast for at least 10 seconds after a new
reading. Here is how you change the batteries
1. Open the battery compartment by sliding the lid (see
figure 2)
Figure 3: Batteries should go in like this
2. Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 3.
Note: Always replace both batteries at the same time and
make sure the batteries are from the same manufacturer.
3. Close the battery compartment by sliding it back into
place.
4. If the red light still flashes for 10 seconds or longer,
repeat steps 1 through 3 and:
• Check that you inserted the batteries in the right
direction.
• Try replacing with a different pair of AAA size
