6.5 Attach Transmitter

Now that you've inserted your sensor, attach your reusable transmitter.
Keep your current session's transmitter box. It 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.
WARNING
Wire Breaks Off
Don't ignore broken or detached sensor wires. A sensor wire could remain under
your skin. If this happens, please contact our 24/7 Technical Support.
If a sensor wire breaks off under your skin and you can't see it, don't try to remove
it. Contact your HCP. Also seek professional medical help if you have symptoms of
infection or inflammation – redness, swelling, or pain – at the insertion site.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don't, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
