Setting up your transmitter and sensor
Basic steps
After you have set up your monitor, there are a few basic steps that you must complete to set up your
transmitter and sensor for use. Perform these steps in the order below.
1 Install the charger battery.
2 Charge the transmitter battery.
3 Insert the sensor into your body.
4 Connect the transmitter to the sensor.
5 Start the sensor.
6 Enter your first meter BG.
Transmitter charger
The transmitter contains a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery that you can recharge as needed with
the charger. The charger has a green light that shows the charging status and a red light that
communicates any problems during charging. If you see a red light, see Understanding your transmitter,
tester, and charger, on page 92. The charger needs a AAA or LR-03 battery to operate.
NOTE: A new AAA or LR-03 battery contains enough power to recharge the transmitter more than 40
times. If the battery is installed incorrectly or is low, the charger will not work. Repeat the battery
installation steps using a new battery.
Installing a new charger battery
1 Remove the charger battery cap by turning it counter-clockwise 1/4 turn using a coin in the groove of
the cap.
