to ensure a rewarding glucose sensing experience. Read the Quick-Reference section below, as it outlines the steps

needed to successfully operate the Guardian RT. Use this section as a general reference guide. But please read the

rest of this chapter carefully for the detailed steps needed to Program the Monitor and Set up the Sensor.

NOTE -

If the ACT button has not yet been pressed, mistakes in programming often can be fixed by

simply waiting 10-20 seconds without pressing any buttons.
