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.
