11.6 Receiver: Default Beeps and Vibrations
The Dexcom G5 receiver’s Alarm/Alerts are vibrations and a beep, or a series of beeps,
based on the Alarm or Alert. Beeps and vibrations are preprogrammed into the receiver, and
unlike with the smart device, the volume can’t be changed.
In Chapter 12 you’ll learn how to adjust the volume and intensity of your Alarm/Alerts. The
following is a table of the receiver’s default beep and vibration patterns. After you confirm the
initial Alert vibration, you won’t get any beeps or sounds unless you’ve turned on the Repeat
Alert.
In the next section, you’ll learn how to confirm the Alarm/Alerts.
