The next step is attaching your transmitter to the sensor pod.

6.6 Attaching Your Transmitter

Now that you have inserted your sensor, you need to attach your transmitter.
Since the transmitter is reusable, you don't need a new one every time you start a sensor
session. Keep your current session's transmitter box. The bottom label has important
information you may need after you've inserted the transmitter. Once the transmitter has
been attached, you can't remove it until your session is over. Chapter 8 reviews when and
how to remove your transmitter.
Before inserting your transmitter, check you entered the correct transmitter SN into your
display device. Chapter 5 covers entering transmitter's SN number.
