Every time you begin using a new Transmitter you need to set the Transmitter ID. This allows
your pump and Sensor to talk to each other. Your unique Transmitter ID number makes this
possible. Be sure to remove the Transmitter from its tray when you are ready to use it. As
soon as you remove it from the tray, it begins to use battery power. Wait 10 minutes for the
Transmitter to turn on and be ready for use.

™ Set Alert Sounds & Levels
(optional)
You can set your pump to notify you when your CGM readings become too high or low (High/
Low Alerts), or are rising or falling too quickly (Rise Rate/Fall Rate Alerts). You can also set
your pump to let you know when your Transmitter is not within RF range of your pump (Out
of Range Alert). Alerts can be enabled/disabled and set to default or customized levels.
Customized levels should be based on your health care professional's recommendations and
your personal preferences. Some Alerts (High/Low and Out of Range Alerts) also let you set a
"snooze" period to re-alert you after a desired amount of time.

b. Remove adhesive backing from bottom of Sensor Pod.
c. Place Sensor horizontally, NOT vertically. Press your fingers firmly around adhesive to
secure.
d. Remove Safety Lock by pulling straight out (follow arrows in picture below). Save Safety
Lock.
e. Using your thumb and finger, it may help to pinch up on your skin at base of the Sensor Pod

plunger and push down completely. You should hear 2 "clicks".
g. Using your thumb as a base, place your 2 fingers below the
collar and pull up completely. You should hear 2 "clicks".
h. Make sure the Transmitter Latch is flush against the skin.
While still holding the Applicator Barrel, use your other
hand to squeeze the ribbed Release Tabs on sides of the
Sensor Pod. Rock the Applicator Barrel forward and lift up
buttons to
and away from your body.
To Place the Transmitter
a. Clean Transmitter with alcohol wipe. Let dry.
b. Using your thumb and finger, pinch up on your skin at the base of the Sensor Pod. Place

your BG meter. BG values must be taken within 5 minutes of each other and then immediately
entered in your pump. You will also need to calibrate daily with 1 fingerstick BG value at least
once every 12 hours. Calibration values can be entered sooner or more often than every 12
hours if desired.
To Calibrate
a. After the 2-hour Startup, you will be prompted to enter 2 separate
fingerstick BG values in your pump. Press
