Initial Setup of the Receiver
Press and hold power button for two seconds to turn receiver on.
The first screen you see is the startup screen with ascending green bars.
Once complete, a setup wizard guides you through the initial setup steps.
Your receiver has a touchscreen. Be sure your fingers are dry when you touch
it. Don’t be alarmed if your receiver buzzes or makes other sounds during this
process.
After your initial setup is complete, you won’t see the setup wizard again. Your
settings can always be adjusted using menu options.
How you complete your initial setup differs between the receiver and your
smart device; however, the data are the same.
Setup Wizard Prompts:
• Date/Time
• Transmitter Serial Number
o Back of transmitter
o Back of transmitter’s box
• Setting Low Alert
• Setting High Alert
Before starting a session, you may want to check the receiver’s battery level.
If it is less than half, go to Chapter 4 for charging instructions.
