138Ending Your Sensor Session and Transmitter Session
Temporarily Shutting Down Receiver
To save on its battery, you can temporarily shut down the receiver. When shut down, your
receiver and transmitter no longer communicate and you won’t get any Alarm or Alerts,
although your sensor session remains active.
Shutting down the receiver does not extend your sensor session past the seven days; it only
stops the receiver from communicating with the transmitter. Your sensor session will stop
seven days after you started the session even if you temporarily shut the receiver off.
