3.6 TRANSMITTER ATTACHMENT

The Transmitter wirelessly sends your Sensor glucose information to the

Receiver. 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.

2. Place the Transmitter in the Sensor Pod with the ﬂ at side facing down.

3. Pull the Transmitter Latch over the Transmitter to snap the Transmitter into

place. The Transmitter should lie ﬂ at in the Sensor Pod. You should hear 2

“clicks.”

a. If you do not hear 2 clicks, the Transmitter might not be fully snapped in.

a. Do this by sliding your ﬁ rst and second ﬁ ngers under the edge of the

Sensor Pod (with your ﬁ ngernails against your skin under the Latch).
