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.
3. With one hand, you may want to pinch up on your skin at the front edge of the
white adhesive.
a. Place one finger on the transmitter to keep it in place while securing the
transmitter into the sensor pod.
b. Pull the transmitter latch over the
transmitter to snap the transmitter into
place. The transmitter should lie flat in the
sensor pod. You should hear 2 "clicks." If
you do not hear 2 "clicks," the transmitter
might not be fully snapped in place. You can release your pinch on the
adhesive edge at this time.
c. Make sure the transmitter is secure by sliding your first and second fingers
under the sensor pod wings and press down on the transmitter with your
thumb.
