1. Sensor
(Below the Skin)
Your transmitter sends sensor
glucose information directly to your
smart device using
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology.
Bluetooth
on your smart device
must be ON in order to receive
CGM data and alerts.
Things to consider if choosing your
smart device only:
• Do you use Do Not Disturb or
set your device to silent often?
Your phone settings impact your
alerts. For example, you will not
get audible alerts if your device
is on silent.
NOTE: The Dexcom G5 Mobile App cannot override your smart
device settings.
