Monitor setup guide

Wireless devices

Information is sent automatically, usually while you sleep, after you send information manually the first time.

  1. Your monitor should be set up within 6–10 feet (2–3 meters) of where you sleep, preferably on a nightstand. 
  2. The monitor should receive adequate cellular signal.
  3. Make sure your monitor is always on and plugged into a power outlet.
  4. Sending information the first time: Follow the steps above to send your first (manual) transmission.
  5. Ongoing use: Your device will automatically “wake up” and send your data on your scheduled transmission dates. Sometimes your clinic may ask you to send a manual transmission. If this happens, follow the steps above to send a manual transmission.

Nonwireless devices

Information is sent manually each time.

  1. Place the monitor where you can sit comfortably and see the front of the monitor.
  2. The monitor should be placed in a location that receives adequate cellular signal.
  3. Make sure your monitor is always on and plugged into a power outlet.
  4. Follow the steps for sending your first transmission every time you are scheduled to send information to your clinic.
