Ending Your Sensor Session and Transmitter Session
144
To save on its battery, you can temporarily shut down the receiver. When shut
down, your receiver and transmitter no longer communicate and you will not
get any Alarm or Alerts although your sensor session remains active.
Shutting down the receiver does not extend your sensor session past the
seven days; it only stops the receiver from communicating with the
transmitter. Your sensor session will stop seven days after you started the
session.
