Helpful Information
Important: You will NOT receive continuous glucose data while the transmitter and receiver are
unlinked and all alarms associated with the Continuous Monitoring mode will be turned off.
• You MUST unlink your receiver from your old transmitter and link your receiver to your new
transmitter whenever you replace your transmitter.
• Once the transmitter and receiver are linked, they don't have to be re-linked or unlinked unless
you want to link the receiver to a new transmitter. If you attempt to link your receiver to a new
transmitter, you must replace the current sensor with a new sensor.
• You can still perform blood glucose measurements in the blood glucose mode while the transmitter
and receiver are unlinked.
• Link is NOT the same as Reconnect. Typically, when you receive the system kit, your receiver
and transmitter are already linked – your receiver knows which transmitter it is paired with. The
receiver will then accept data only from that transmitter. Once your receiver and transmitter
are linked, you do not need to link them again unless you have had to unlink them (if changing
transmitter). "Reconnect" (see Section 9 Step 2) establishes connection if your receiver and
transmitter have been temporarily moved beyond the normal range of communication (10 feet).
To enable secure communication between your transmitter and your receiver.
Do this procedure:
• When you replace either your transmitter or your receiver.
Gather these materials before you begin:
• Your receiver.
• Your transmitter.
Note: Your system may need fresh batteries if it cannot establish communication.
