The G5 Mobile knows when a typical seven-day sensor session is over, automatically ending the session in each display
device. However, if you need to end the session early, you need to let the system know by manually stopping the sensor
session.
While the end result is the same (ending a sensor session), the steps differ between the app and receiver. If you're using both,
no need to stop the sensor session in each: the other display will see the session has stopped.
Let's first look at how to end a sensor session in the app, then the receiver.
