Chapter 13: End Sensor and Transmitter Sessions
13.4 End of Transmitter Battery
The transmitter battery is good for up to 3 months.
How do you know if your transmitter battery will last through your next session? If
you haven’t received your final 10-day transmitter battery life warning, you can reuse
the transmitter for your next session. Starting at 3 weeks before the end of its battery
life, the warnings count down the transmitter battery life until it has only 10 days –
one sensor session – left. If the transmitter battery has 10 days or less remaining,
you won’t be able to start a new session. See Chapter 14 Troubleshooting for more
information.
Transmitter Sound/Vibration Notifications
In case you can’t look at your screen, both the smart device and receiver provide
beeps/vibrations to tell you your transmitter battery is low or the transmitter failed.
• App: Your smart device notifies you with a triple beep. If not cleared, you receive
the triple beep twice, 5 minutes apart
• Receiver: The receiver initially notifies you by vibrating. If not cleared, you receive a
vibration/beep twice, 5 minutes apart
See Appendix H for information about notifications that sound while smart device is
silenced/muted.
13.5 Pair New Transmitter
You get a notification when the transmitter battery has died or the system detects a
problem.
The system guides you through pairing your new transmitter:
1. Enter your sensor code and transmitter SN
2. Insert sensor, attach transmitter, and wait for pairing confirmation.
3. Start your new sensor session
Remember, if you use both display devices, make sure you start the sensor session in
one before pairing the transmitter in the other.
