• Reconnect old sensor (two hours).
• A meter BG entry is needed for calibration.
Two other conditions also prevent a real-time SG value and generate a WARM UP message on your sensor
glucose graphs:
• You started a new sensor, and it has entered a two-hour initialization. The sensor is not ready to take
glucose readings.
• You entered a BG for calibration, and your monitor is waiting to receive the first valid SG value.
Opening and viewing the graphs
The following table describes how to use the graphs.
If you want to: Do the following:
Open the graphs From the HOME screen, press ESC. The last graph you viewed (3, 6, 12
or 24 hour) shows the details for your most recent sensor glucose (SG)
measurement.
View information in a graph If there is no SG measurement at the time you select, the reason for
the missing measurement will show on the right side of the graph (for
example, Lost Sensor).
• When you open the graphs, the cursor (flashing vertical line) is always on
the right edge of the graph and the graph shows the most recent SG
measurement.
•
Press
to move the cursor left to see an earlier SG measurement.
•
Press
to move the cursor right to return to more recent SG
measurements.
View different graphs
•
With the cursor at the far right edge of a graph, you can press
to open
the next graph.
• If the cursor is anywhere to the left of the far right edge, press ESC to
move it to the right, then press
to open the next graph.
