If cellular coverage is available, the system will send the data and shut down following transmission.
If wireless coverage is not available or if the system uses a dial-up connection, select Cancel to stop the system from continuing
to attempt the connection. Explain to the patient that their system will automatically send the data from their home and
automatically shut down afterwards. If the system is unable to transfer the readings to the website they will be stored for later
transmission.
3. Once the system successfully sends the reading, it will automatically shut down. During training, if you do not wish the system
to shut down, select ‘Cancel’ while it is sending. Allow the system to complete the shut-down sequence prior to disconnecting
power from the system. Failure to do so may cause file corruption. If the automatic shut- down was cancelled, shut the system
down by pressing the Options button on the Start screen, followed by Shut Down.
4. If the system has shut down, restart the system to take additional training readings.
