Question: Why do I see a mix of quick and
long flashing red lights on the charger?
Answer: Your charger and transmitter
batteries are very low. Replace the charger’s
AAA or LR-03 battery. If you now get the pattern for very low transmitter battery, leave the transmitter on
the charger for eight hours to recharge. If the red light is still flashing after eight hours, call our 24 Hour
HelpLine. It may be time to replace your transmitter.
Question: I had my transmitter on the charger for a day. Will this damage my transmitter?
Answer: It will not damage the transmitter. You cannot overcharge it.
Question: What should I do if the green light on the transmitter does not flash when connected to the
sensor?
Answer: Is the sensor inserted in your body? If it is not inserted, the transmitter will not flash green or
send signals to a monitoring device.
If the sensor is inserted in your body, disconnect the transmitter from the sensor, wait several seconds and
then reconnect it. If the green light still does not flash, charge the transmitter.
Question: Why did I not see the green light on the transmitter flash after connecting it to the tester?
Answer: Check the connection. If you still do not see a green light flash, fully recharge the transmitter
battery. Test the transmitter with the tester. If you still do not see a green light flash, call our 24 Hour
HelpLine. It may be time to replace your transmitter.
Troubleshooting the transmitter
The Watertight Tester acts like a sensor. If you get sensor alerts, use the tester to make sure that the
transmitter is working. If you need help using the tester, contact your local help line or representative for
assistance.
