Troubleshooting

18.1 Introduction

Sensor pod not sticking? Prompt won't go away? Not getting your sensor glucose readings?
Don't know when to replace your transmitter? This chapter will help you figure it out!
Troubleshooting sections are categorized by function or system component. The solutions
here are meant to be brief and not all inclusive, some have audible prompts, and others
don't. When more detailed answers or preventative measures are in a chapter, you'll get a
brief explanation here, and then get directed to the applicable chapter and section.
After looking at the troubleshooting chapter, are you still not sure what to do? Or maybe your
problem is hardware (e.g., receiver or transmitter failure).
