FALL RATE
Reason: The sensor glucose measurements are falling at a rate that is equal to or faster than the Set Fall
Rate Limit you selected for the alert.
RISE RATE
Reason: The sensor glucose measurements are rising at a rate that is equal to or faster than the Set Rise
Rate Limit you selected for the alert.
SENSOR ERROR
Reason: The sensor signal is either too high or too low.
Action: Clear the alert. Do not change the sensor yet. If the alert repeats, make sure that the sensor is
inserted properly, that the sensor and transmitter are connected properly, and that there is no moisture
at the connections. If the alert continues, check your MiniLink transmitter with the tester. Call the
HelpLine or your local representative if this error repeats.
LOW BATTERY
Reason: The battery is running low on energy and may fail at any time. The backlight does not work when
the battery is low. If the alert type is set to Vibrate, then the monitor will change to the audio alert Beep
Medium.
Action: If you get this alert, then replace the battery before you go to sleep. Clear (ESC, ACT) this alert,
then replace the battery.
Viewing your sensor alert history
The SENSOR ALARM HISTORY screen shows you all of the sensor alerts that have recently occurred (up to a
maximum of 36). Each line shows the alert date and time, and the alert type.
The list below shows what each sensor alert displayed on your monitor means.
