Chapter 13: End Sensor and Transmitter Sessions
Receiver
Sound and Vibration Prompts
Both the smart device and receiver beep/vibrate to remind you your sensor session will
end in 30 minutes, it has just ended, or your sensor failed and you need to start a new
session.
The initial notification is one vibration. If not confirmed, you receive a vibration and
beep twice, 5 minutes apart.
Once a sensor session has expired, remove your sensor and then start a new session.
13.3 Remove Sensor and Transmitter
When you remove your sensor, your transmitter comes off too. Remember, your
transmitter is reusable; don’t throw it away until its battery has died. It has a battery
life of 90 days, so you can use the same transmitter over a number of sensor sessions.
You receive notifications as it nears the end of its battery life.
PRECAUTION
Reuse – Don’t Throw Away
When ending a session, don’t throw away the transmitter. The transmitter is
reusable until the G6 notifies you that the transmitter battery is about to expire.
