Receiver Safety Statements
Warnings
• Do Not Use if Damaged
Do not use a receiver that is damaged or cracked. A damaged receiver could
cause injuries from electrical shocks and may make the G6 not work correctly.
• Use Cable as Directed
Use USB cable only as directed, and store safely. Misuse of the USB cable can be
a strangulation risk.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
Precautions
• Test Speaker and Vibrations
You have to hear or feel alarm/alerts to react to them, so test your receiver
speaker and vibrations regularly.
To make sure the speaker and vibrations work, plug in the receiver to charge.
The Speaker Test screen appears for a few seconds. Follow the directions on the
screen to test the speaker and vibrations. If you hear and feel them, great! But if
it does not beep and vibrate – perhaps it got wet or was dropped – contact your
local Dexcom representative.
• Keep Clean and Dry
Do not submerge your receiver in water and do not get dirt or water in the USB
port. That could damage it.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
