TRANSMITTER ATTACHMENT

The Transmitter wirelessly sends your Sensor glucose information to the
Receiver. Once you have inserted your Sensor, you will need to snap the
Transmitter into the Sensor Pod. Follow the steps below to attach your Transmitter.
1. Clean and dry the bottom of the Transmitter with a damp cloth or an alcohol wipe before
every use.
a. Be careful not to touch the metal circles on the bottom of the Transmitter.
2. Place the Transmitter in the Sensor Pod with the flat side facing down.
3. Pull the Transmitter Latch over the Transmitter to snap the Transmitter into place. The Trans-
mitter should lie flat in the Sensor Pod. You should hear 2 "clicks."
a. If you do not hear 2 clicks, the Transmitter might not be fully snapped in.
4. Make sure both sides of the Transmitter are secure inside the Sensor Pod.
a. Do this by sliding your first and second fingers under the edge of the Sensor Pod (with
your fingernails against your skin under the Latch).
b. Place your thumb on top of the Transmitter.
c. Then squeeze together to make sure the Transmitter has been snapped in.
