11.7 Confirming Alarm/Alerts
Alarm/Alerts require you to confirm them. How this is done depends on your display device. If
using both display devices, you’ll need to confirm Alarm/Alerts on each device separately.
Due to its medical importance, the Alarm is more persistent. Even after confirming an Alarm,
if your sensor’s glucose readings remain at or below 55 mg/dL, an Alarm will sound every 30
minutes until readings are above 55 mg/dL.
