What is the Start-up Initialization Time?
Was this helpful?
The sensor needs a 2-hour start-up period. This is so the sensor can get used to its new insertion site. During the start-up period, check every so often to make sure the antenna symbol is in the lower right corner of the trend graphs. Also make sure your receiver battery is charged.
When you press any button during the start-up period to turn on the receiver display, your trend graphs and status box will be shaded dark gray.
Over time, the partial dark gray block on the screen will start to disappear to the left, indicating that you are getting closer to initial calibration time.
At the end of the 2-hour start-up period the receiver will let you know that it is time to calibrate your sensor.
