will continue. Follow these steps to shut down your receiver:

“Shutdown.” Press the SELECT button.
3.9 TAPING THE SENSOR POD
The sensor pod should stay securely attached to
your skin using its own adhesive. But, if the patch
is peeling up, you can use medical tape (such as
Blenderm, Tegaderm, IV 3000, 3M tape) for extra
support. If you use tape, only tape over the white
adhesive patch on all sides for even support. Do
not tape over the transmitter or any of the plastic
parts of the sensor pod. Do not tape under the
sensor pod or leave any substance on the skin where you insert the sensor.
