11.3 TRANSMITTER REMOVAL
Do not remove the transmitter while the sensor pod is still
attached to the body.
After the sensor pod is off your body, you must remove the transmitter
to reuse it. Use either of these two transmitter removal methods:
Method 1
The safety lock that you removed from the applicator (see Chapter 6,
Section 6.4, Placing the Sensor), can be used as a tool to remove the
transmitter.
1.Placethesensorpod/transmitteronaatsurface.
2. Hold the rounded edge of the safety lock.
3. Make sure the jagged edge of the safety lock is facing down, with
the arrow pointing up, as shown:
Method 2
Useyourngerstospreadoutthetabsatthebackofthesensorpod
(end closest to the sensor pod tab wings). The transmitter will “pop” out
of the sensor pod.

reached the end of the transmitter battery life.
