3 Hold the transmitter as shown. Line up the two notches on the transmitter with
the side arms of the sensor. The flat side of the transmitter should face the skin.
4
Slide the transmitter onto the sensor until the sensor’s flexible arms snap into the notches on the
transmitter. If the transmitter is properly connected, and if the sensor has had enough time to become
hydrated, the green light on the transmitter will flash within 10 seconds.
5 If the transmitter light does not flash, disconnect it from the sensor, wait for several seconds and then
reconnect. If the transmitter light still does not flash, charge the transmitter.
6
After the transmitter light flashes green, use your monitor to communicate with the sensor.
7 [Optional]: Apply occlusive dressing over the transmitter and the sensor.
Starting the sensor
This section shows you how to start the sensor so that it is ready to take glucose measurements and send
them to the transmitter. You use the monitor to start the sensor.
To start the sensor:
1 Open the SENSOR START MENU.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Start
The SENSOR START MENU shows New Sensor.
2 Press ACT. The NEW SENSOR screen shows a message reminding you to connect the transmitter to the
sensor.
3 If you have not connected the transmitter to the sensor, connect it now (see previous section for the
steps to use). However, if the NEW SENSOR screen times out and the HOME screen appears, DO NOT
connect the sensor. Start this procedure again from the beginning.
4 Press ACT. The SENSOR READY 2 HOURS screen appears.
5 Press any button. The sensor is started.
After two hours, your monitor will prompt you to enter the first meter BG reading to calibrate the
sensor.
