Connecting the tester
1 Hold the transmitter and the tester as shown. Line up the flat side of the tester
with the flat side of the transmitter.
2 Push the tester into the transmitter until the flexible side arms of the tester click into the notches on
both sides of the transmitter. Within 20 seconds, the green light on the transmitter will flash for
approximately 10 seconds when properly connected. You should also see the sensor icon
on your
monitor. This means that the transmitter and the sensor are communicating (your monitor Sensor
feature must be turned On).
3 Go to the RECONNECT OLD SENSOR screen to start your sensor.
Main > Sensor > Sensor Start > Reconnect Old Sensor
4 Within the next seven to eight minutes, go to the Sensor Status screen and check the ISIG values:
• Sensor ISIG value between 24.00 - 29.00 nA - this range of ISIG values means that the transmitter
electronics are working properly. Because the transmitter is sending signals correctly, the sensor
must have caused the alarm. Remove and discard the sensor. Insert a new sensor in a new site.
• Sensor ISIG value that is less than 24.00 nA or more than 29.00 nA - call the HelpLine or your local
representative. It may be time to replace your transmitter.
Disconnecting the tester
1
Hold the transmitter body as shown and pinch the side arms of the tester.
2 With the tester arms pinched, gently pull the transmitter away from the tester.
NOTE: To save transmitter battery life, do NOT leave the tester connected after cleaning or
testing.
