6.5 Attach Transmitter Overview
Now that you've inserted your sensor, attach your reuseable transmitter.
Keep your current session's transmitter box. The bottom label has important information you may need after
you've attached the transmitter.
Before attaching your transmitter, check you've entered the correct transmitter SN into your display device.
Chapter 5 covers entering transmitter SN during initial setup. Once you've snapped the transmitter into the
holder, you can't remove it until your session is over.
