13.4 End of Transmitter Battery

The transmitter battery is good for up to 3 months.
How do you know if your transmitter battery will last through your next session? If you
haven't received your final 10-day transmitter battery life warning, you can reuse the
transmitter for your next session. Starting at 3 weeks before the end of its battery life,
the warnings count down the transmitter battery life until it has only 10 days — one
sensor session — left. If the transmitter battery has 10 days or less remaining, you won't
be able to start a new session. See
Transmitter Sound/Vibration Notifications
In case you can't look at your screen, both the smart device and receiver provide
beeps/vibrations to tell you your transmitter battery is low or the transmitter failed.
• App: Your smart device notifies you with a triple beep. If not cleared, you receive the
triple beep twice, 5 minutes apart
• Receiver: The receiver initially notifies you by vibrating. If not cleared, you receive a
vibration/beep twice, 5 minutes apart
See Appendix I for information about notifications that sound while smart device is
silenced/muted.

13.5 Pair New Transmitter

Once the transmitter battery has died, before starting a new sensor, you need to pair
