or Receiver
2. Transmitter
1. Sensor
(Below the Skin)
Your transmitter sends sensor
glucose information directly to your
app and/or your receiver, at the
same time, using
Bluetooth
.
Your app and receiver do not “talk”
to each other.
You can choose to use both devices
at once or switch between devices.
Things to consider if choosing both
devices:
• Use your app during daily
activities where you already take
your smart device
• Use your receiver during
activities where your smart
device may not be allowed (work
or school)
• When you are sleeping you can,
silence your smart device and
use your receiver for alerts
• If you carry both devices, you
will receive alerts and must
acknowledge alerts on both
devices
