INTRODUCTION
When you use the system, you will see continuous sensor glucose readings
updated every 5 minutes for up to 7 days. These readings will help you detect
trends and patterns in your glucose levels.
The system includes the sensor, the transmitter, and the receiver. The sensor
is a disposable unit that you insert under the skin of your abdomen (belly) to
continuously monitor your glucose levels for up to 7 days. The transmitter
is a reusable device that wirelessly sends your sensor-measured glucose
information to your receiver. The receiver is a hand-held device that receives
and displays your glucose information.
This user's guide describes how to use your system.

2. Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight “On/Off” and press the SELECT button to set this option.
3. Press the LEFT button to return to the previous screen.
4. Press the DOWN button to highlight “Level.”
