Reconnecting to a Sensor if Signal is Interrupted

If your Receiver and Transmitter become disconnected for any reason
(as indicated by the icon), you can reconnect them by following the
steps below .
1. Make sure that the Transmitter is firmly attached to the Sensor .
2. The Receiver will automatically try to reconnect with the Transmitter
within the first 30 minutes of being disconnected . If it has been
more than 30 minutes, or if you want to re-establish connection
immediately, select Menu ➞ Connect to Sensor .
3. Hold the Receiver directly on top of the Transmitter . When
reconnection is successful, you will see the
screen .
Your FreeStyle Navigator II System can be used during a wide variety of
indoor and outdoor activities . Depending on the activity, there are some
considerations to be aware of:
in the upper
Wireless Transmission Range
Your Transmitter and Receiver can maintain a connection at distances
up to 30 metres (100 feet) in open air without obstructions . Individual
experiences may vary depending upon the line of sight, walls, trees or
other obstructions within the area .
Note: Be aware that if you are out of audible range of the Receiver, you will
not hear any alarms if they occur. The Transmitter has no alarms.

Bathing, Showering and Swimming

The Receiver has exposed ports and should NEVER be submerged in
liquids, however, your Sensor and Transmitter are water resistant .
You can wear the Transmitter/Sensor Unit while bathing or showering .
You may also swim while wearing the Transmitter/Sensor Unit . Do NOT
go deeper than 1 metre (3 feet) .
Sleeping
The Transmitter/Sensor Unit should not interfere with your normal
icon on the Home
sleeping patterns . As you get ready to go to sleep, place the Receiver
nearby to hear any alarms that may occur . It is recommended to charge
your Receiver overnight to avoid data interruption .
