How to charge the Transmitter
▪ Charge the Transmitter daily (for example, every night while
you sleep).
▪ The Transmitter may take up to 6 hours to fully charge.
▪ With an adequate charge, the Transmitter can be used for up
to 12 hours before needing to be recharged.
▪ The Linked, Cell, and Send lights on the Transmitter are utilized
by Medtronic Customer Support for troubleshooting. Refer to
these lights only if asked by a Medtronic Customer Support
representative.
IMPORTANT: If the battery on the Transmitter runs out, you can
continue to wear the Wearable Sensor and use the Patient
Trigger Button to document symptoms. All of your data will be
stored on the Wearable Sensor and transmitted once the
Transmitter is charged.
When to remove or replace the Wearable Sensor
Each Wearable Sensor is designed to operate with normal wear and
tear over the course of use for up to 7.5 days. The Wearable Sensor
is also water resistant. You can keep wearing the Wearable Sensor
while you shower, but do not submerge it in water (for example, in a
bath or hot tub).
Depending on the length of your prescription, you may need to wear
more than one Wearable Sensor. As seen in the diagram below, the
Wearable Sensor display will let you know when it should be
removed.
