Disconnecting the transmitter from the sensor
1 Carefully remove any occlusive dressing from the
transmitter and sensor.
2 Remove the sensor's adhesive tab from the transmitter.
3 Hold the transmitter as shown, and pinch the flexible side
arms of the sensor between your thumb and forefinger.
4 Gently pull the transmitter away from the sensor.
Bathing and swimming
After the transmitter and sensor are connected, they form a waterproof seal to a
depth of eight feet (2.4 meters) for up to 30 minutes. You can shower and swim
without removing them.
Watertight tester
The tester is used to test the transmitter to make sure it is working. It is also used as
a required component for cleaning the transmitter. Properly connecting the tester to
the transmitter will ensure that fluids do not come in contact with the transmitter's
connector pins. Fluids can cause connector pins to corrode and affect the
transmitter's performance.
Each tester can be used a total of 122 times. Keep track of the tester uses on the
supplied log sheet and discard the tester after 122 times in a bio-waste container. If
you continue to use the tester beyond 122 times, the transmitter's connector pins
could be damaged, because the tester cannot continue to provide a waterproof seal.
For instructions on how to check the connector pins, see Inspecting the transmitter
connector pins, on page 8.
Caution: Only use the watertight tester with the transmitter. Do not use any
other test plug.
