Set up merlin@home transmitter help please

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and hoping someone out there can help me with advice please. My father has been given the Merlin @home transmitter (EX1150) and i have been trying to set it up but without luck yet. My parents don't have a landline and the device came along with the usb connector, now i take it that the data which is transmitted will require an internet connection of some kind for the transmitter to work? I am uk based and i cannot find any technical support numbers for uk and my parents do not have internet, so if someone can just tell me if its required then i can move forward, many thanks in advance for any help, i appreciate any info.

What a pain in the neck.

I do NOT have a Merlin; my device is a Carelink from Medtronics. However, without a landline OR interenet connection, it won't work.

My Carelink sends the information like a fax via a modem.

Another option is to take it to a hotel or someplace with a corded phone or perhaps a public library where they would have internet and you can plug it in to one of their computers.

Good Luck. I hope it all works out.

Hi there, thank you for your help, that's what I was thinking too but just wanted to double check. I found it odd that it was sent home with my father even though he told them he had no landline at home. Thanks again you've been very helpful.

You read consumer reports before upgrading to a new model.
