You’re almost done starting your sensor session!
Inserting the sensor, attaching the transmitter, and the two-hour sensor warmup are the
same regardless of whether you use the receiver or app.
No matter which display device you use, you’ll insert the sensor and attach the transmitter
only once during your seven-day sensor session.
The remaining steps vary from app to receiver:
1. Letting your device know you need to start the sensor warmup.
2. Following your warmup countdown.
