LOST SENSOR
Reason: The monitor has not received a signal from the transmitter for more than 40 minutes.
Action: Make sure that the sensor is inserted properly and that the transmitter and sensor are connected.
Do not disconnect. Touch the inserted sensor at the back of the assembly to prevent movement and push
the transmitter firmly:
• If you hear a click, wait 20 seconds to see a green light on the transmitter flash for 10 seconds to
confirm a good connection. The alert was due to the sensor and transmitter not being connected.
• If you do not hear a click when you check the connection, the alert was due to a transmission
problem. Move the monitor closer to the transmitter.
• If you hear a click, but do not see a green light on the transmitter, check to make sure that the
transmitter is charged.
To find your sensor, use the Find Lost Sensor function:
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Start > Find Lost Sensor
LOW TRANSMTR
Reason: Occurs when the transmitter battery is close to running out of power. The transmitter will
continue sending sensor signals for several hours and may last for several days until the battery is
depleted.
Action: Recharge your transmitter.
CHARGE TRANSMTR
Reason: The transmitter battery is depleted.
Action: Recharge your transmitter immediately.
CHANGE SENSOR
Reason: If you receive this alert after two Cal Errors in a row, your sensor needs to be changed. If you
receive this alert without two Cal Errors or during initialization, you may not need to change your sensor.
See the actions below.
