Attach the Transmitter
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.
a.
Clean and dry the bottom of the Transmitter with a damp cloth or an alcohol wipe before every
use. Be careful not to touch the metal circles on the bottom of the Transmitter with your skin. For
cleaning instructions, refer to Chapter 11 in Section II. Be careful not to scratch the bottom of the
Transmitter as scratches may compromise the waterproof seal.
b.
Place the Transmitter in the Sensor Pod with the flat side facing down.
c.
With one hand, you may want to pinch up on your skin at the front edge of the white adhesive.
• Place one finger on the Transmitter to keep it in place while securing the Transmitter into the
Sensor Pod.
• Pull the Transmitter Latch over the Transmitter to snap the
Transmitter into place. The Transmitter should lie flat in the
Sensor Pod. You should hear 2 "clicks." If you do not hear
2 "clicks", the Transmitter might not be fully snapped in.
You can release your pinch on the adhesive edge at this
time.
• Make sure the Transmitter is secure by sliding your first and second fingers under the Sensor Pod
wings, and press down on the Transmitter with your thumb.
d.
Hold the Transmitter in place with one hand. Using your
other hand, remove the Transmitter Latch by holding the
edge of the Latch and quickly twisting off the Latch away
from your body.
• Make sure you hear 2 "clicks" when you snap the
Transmitter in place (see Step c). Failing to seat
the Transmitter completely may lead to a poor
Sensor connection and allow fluids to get under the
Transmitter. This can lead to inaccurate Sensor glucose
readings. DO NOT remove the Transmitter from the
Sensor Pod while the Pod is attached to your skin.
