3 To check the SmartGuard Checklist

a) Confirm the pump shows a sensor serial number on the Paired Devices screen. Make sure the pump is paired with a sensor.

b) Check your Home screen. If you see the connection icon with a red cross move your pump and transmitter closer together. The pump will try to find the transmitter signal which may take 15 minutes. If after 30 minutes the pump and transmitter are still not communicating, you will receive a Lost sensor signal alert. Check that the sensor is still inserted in the skin and the transmitter and sensor are still connected. Move your pump closer to your transmitter.

c) If your sensor glucose is outside of the 50 to 400 mg/dL range, your pump will not enter the SmartGuard™ feature.
