Receiver and Smart Device Safety Statements
Precautions
• Keep Transmitter Close to Display Device
Keep your transmitter and display device within 6 meters with no obstacles
(like walls or metal) between them. Otherwise, they might not be able to
communicate. If water is between your transmitter and the display device – for
example, if you are showering or swimming – keep them closer to each other.
The range is reduced because Bluetooth
®
does not work as well through water.
• Get Alarm/Alerts on Display Device You Use
To get your alarm/alerts, set them on the display device you use. Your receiver
will not get the alarm/alerts you set on your app. Likewise, your app will not get
the alarm/alerts you set on your receiver.
• Is It On?
If the receiver or smart device is turned off (shut down), it will not show G6
readings or alarm/alerts. Make sure your display device is turned on.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
Smart Device Safety Statements
Warnings
• Check Settings
When using your smart device, you should confirm that your volume is turned
up, your phone is not muted, and you do not have headphones plugged in. If
your volume is not turned up, the device is muted, or headphones are plugged
in, you will not hear the sound of any notifications, including important alarms.
When you have headphones connected to your Android
®
, alarm/alerts will sound
through the headphones and the speaker. On your Apple
®
, they will sound only in
the headphones.
Some notifications are silent during the first visual and vibrate notification and
then make a sound on the second notification. If you do not clear the alert, it
repeats at half volume after 5 minutes and at full volume after 10 minutes.
