The next step is attaching your transmitter to the sensor pod.
6.6 Attaching Your Transmitter
Now that you have inserted your sensor, you need to attach your transmitter.
Since the transmitter is reusable, you don’t need a new one every time you start a sensor
session.
Keep your current session’s transmitter box. The bottom label has important information you
may need after you’ve attached the transmitter. Once the transmitter has been attached, you
can’t remove it until your session is over. Chapter 8 reviews when and how to remove your
transmitter.
Before attaching your transmitter, make sure you’ve entered the correct transmitter SN into
your display device. Chapter 5 covers entering the transmitter’s SN number during initial
setup. See Chapter 8 for pairing your transmitter after the startup wizard.
