you do not see the start sensor option on your menu screen, you can
continue that session or stop the session (refer to Chapter 9, Section 9.6,
Sensor Shut-off Troubleshooting).

readings or alerts until your 2-hour startup period has ended and you
have completed your initial calibrations. See Chapter 4, Section 4.3,
