4. To remove the applicator barrel, squeeze
the ribbed release tabs on the sides of the
sensor pod (when you squeeze the front
part of the release tabs, the back part of the
tabs will widen, allowing you to pull off the
applicator barrel.) After this step, only the
sensor pod will be left on your body.
• Make sure the transmitter latch is down
(against your body) to remove the applicator
barrel.
• Be sure to squeeze in the center of the ribbed part of the release tabs.
• While squeezing the release tabs rock the applicator barrel forward and out
away from the body.
If you have any problems with insertion, save the sensor and applicator and
contact your local distributor.

TRANSMITTER ATTACHMENT
Once you have inserted your sensor, you will need to snap the transmitter into
the sensor pod. Follow the steps below to attach your transmitter.
1. Clean and dry the bottom of the transmitter with a damp cloth or an alcohol
wipe before every use. Be careful not to touch the metal circles on the bottom
of the transmitter with your skin. For disinfection instructions refer to Chapter
10, Section 10.3, Cleaning and Disinfection. Be careful not to scratch the
bottom of the transmitter as scratches may compromise the waterproof seal.
2. Place the transmitter in the sensor pod with
the flat side facing down.
