• The Sensor should be removed if redness, pain, tenderness, or swelling
develops at the insertion site.
• The Sensor Support Mount and Transmitter are water resistant and may be worn
while bathing, showering, or swimming. While swimming, make sure you do not
go deeper than 1 meter (roughly 3 feet) or the Sensor gasket might leak, causing
the Transmitter to stop working properly. When the Transmitter is underwater,
the Transmitter/Receiver connection will be broken and you will not receive
continuous glucose readings.
• Do NOT immerse the Receiver in water or any other liquid. Avoid getting
water or any other liquid in the Receiver’s Test Strip Port.
• The Transmitter should be removed from the Sensor Support Mount and cleaned
(see page 141) each time you remove a used Sensor (every 3 days).
• If the Sensor Support Mount fails to adhere to the skin, the Sensor will not work
and you will need to insert a new Sensor.
• Do NOT drop the Receiver.
• When using the System in the Blood Glucose Mode, use only FreeStyle Test
Strips and FreeStyle Control Solution. Other brands of test strips or control
solution can give you inaccurate results.
• Do NOT use FreeStyle Control Solution for calibration.
• If you get a Control Solution test result that falls outside the range printed on the
Test Strip vial, repeat the test with a new Test Strip. If the test result is still
outside the range on the vial, the System may not be working properly. Do NOT
use the System to test your glucose levels unless you get a Control Solution test
result within the range printed on the Test Strip vial.

• The System is intended to assist you in better managing your diabetes by
