Remove Transmitter From Sensor Pod
Remember that the transmitter is reusable—do not throw away. It lasts 90 days and can be used in multiple sensor sessions.
Keep using it until the system notifies you the transmitter battery is about to expire.
Before reusing the transmitter in your new sensor session, remove it from the old sensor pod.
You can detach transmitter two ways:
1. Use safety lock (see With Safety Lock table). You removed this from the applicator barrel at the beginning of the
session.
2. Manually spread out tabs holding transmitter in sensor pod (see Without Safety Lock table).

After removing your sensor, and taking the transmitter out of the sensor pod, you're ready to begin a new sensor session. The
transmitter's battery is good up to three months. If you haven't received your final seven-day transmitter battery life warning,
you can reuse the transmitter for your next session.
Remember:
1. Never use same spot repeatedly for sensor insertion.
2. Never use same site for 2 sensor sessions in a row.
