Starting Your Sensor Session - Dexcom G5 mobile User Manual

If the patch peels up, use medical tape (such as Blenderm
IV3000 , 3M tape) for extra support.

• Tape over white adhesive patch on all sides for even support
• Don't tape over the transmitter or any plastic parts of the sensor pod
• Don't tape under sensor pod
• Don't leave any substance on the skin where you insert the sensor

6.8 Starting Your Sensor Session

If you choose to use both the receiver and the app, each system requires individual setups
(see Chapter 5).
After pairing the transmitter to your device(s), inserting your sensor, and attaching the
transmitter to the sensor pod, your next step is telling your device(s) you want to start
a sensor session. Transmitters are reusable; pairing is required only when using a
new transmitter.
During the warmup period, neither device will provide any sensor glucose readings. Your
sensor glucose readings begin after the two hour sensor warmup has passed and you
entered the initial two calibration BG values into either the smart device or the receiver.
We'll first review starting the sensor session for the app.
