How to set up and pair your Merlin@home transmitter

Make sure you have the setup guide instructions specific to your transmitter. You should have received these with your Merlin@home™ transmitter, or you can search for them on our manuals site.

There are several ways you can connect your Merlin@home transmitter to your doctor or clinic. When first setting up your transmitter you can choose to connect it via a standard telephone line, a wireless cellular adapter, or a broadband internet kit (connecting to your home Wi-Fi‡).

Choose whichever connection method allows for a reliable connection based upon your circumstances.

Place your transmitter on a table or nightstand within 6 feet of your bed.

Follow the instructions specific to the connection method you choose; cellular, telephone, or wireless broadband (Wi-Fi).
