1. A method of preparing a sensor control device for continuous analyte monitoring for a user, comprising:
- removing a cover from an applicator housing the sensor control device; and
exposing an optical activation sensor to optical light such that the optical activation sensor initiates activation of a processor in the sensor control device,wherein the optical activation sensor is housed within the sensor control device adjacent to a transparent or semi-transparent window structure in a housing of the sensor device, andwherein the sensor control device comprises a surface covered with adhesive for coupling the sensor control device to the user, a portion of the surface being free of adhesive to permit passage of optical light through the window structure.
