Inspecting the transmitter connector pins
This image is an example of how the connector pins should look.
connector opening

housing
Look inside the transmitter’s connector opening to make sure that the connector pins are not damaged or
corroded. If the connector pins are damaged or corroded, the transmitter cannot communicate with the
charger, monitor, or pump. Contact the 24 Hour HelpLine. It may be time to replace your transmitter.
Also look for moisture inside the connector opening. If you see any moisture, allow the transmitter to dry
for at least one hour. Moisture inside the connector opening could cause the transmitter to not work
properly, and could cause corrosion and damage over time.
Cleaning/disinfecting the transmitter
The transmitter is intended for personal use at home (single-patient use) or for use in healthcare facilities
(multiple-patient use). Single-patient use requires cleaning after each use, while multi-patient use
requires cleaning and disinfection after each use. When using the transmitter in a healthcare facility,
always follow the cleaning and disinfecting procedure for multiple-patient use.
Caution: Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or otherwise subject it to
incineration. The transmitter contains a battery that may explode upon incineration.
NOTE: The tester is a required component for cleaning and disinfecting the transmitter. For details,
see Watertight tester, on page 101.
