- Your monitor should be set up within 6–10 feet (2–3 meters) of where you sleep, preferably on a nightstand.
- The monitor should receive adequate cellular signal.
- Make sure your monitor is always on and plugged into a power outlet.
- Sending information the first time: Follow the steps above to send your first (manual) transmission.
- 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.
