4 [Optional]: Apply occlusive dressing over the transmitter and the sensor.
5 Follow the instructions in the next section to start your sensor.
Preparing the sensor for communication
You are now ready to use your pump to start communicating with the sensor and start sensor initialization.
The pump will start a timer and notify you when the sensor is ready to use.
Use your pump to follow the steps below:
1 Go to the LINK SENSOR MENU screen.
Main > Sensor > Link to Sensor
2 Select New Sensor. Press ACT.
3 Connect the transmitter to your sensor now if you have not already done so. If the screen times out, do
not disconnect the sensor. Start from step 1 again.
4 After your sensor is connected, press ACT. The SENSOR READY 2 HRS screen appears.
5 The sensor will enter a two hour initialization period. Press any button to continue. After 2 hours your
pump will alert you to enter a meter BG to calibrate your sensor.
Calibrating the sensor
Two hours after you use your pump to start the sensor, your pump will alert you to enter a meter BG (METER
BG NOW). This meter BG entry will be the first calibration for your sensor. You have to wait 10–15 minutes
after calibration to see the first sensor glucose reading on the pump screen.
After the first calibration, you must calibrate your sensor every 12 hours. If you fail to enter a meter BG
reading after 12 hours, your pump displays the METER BG NOW alert. Your pump will then stop calculating
glucose values. However, about 20 minutes after you have entered a meter BG, your pump will continue
calculating glucose values.
