Setting your Alarm/Alert Type
You can set your monitor three different ways to let you know when there is an alarm, alert, or special
conditions or programming (see the Troubleshooting and alarms/alerts chapter for details). The default
setting is Beep Medium, but you can select Beep Long, Beep Short, or Vibrate.
The Vibrate setting uses more battery power than beep settings and may shorten battery life. If your
alarm/alert type is set to Vibrate and you get a LOW BATTERY alert, then your monitor will automatically
use the default beep to save battery power.
To set the alert type:
1 Open the ALERT TYPE screen.
MAIN MENU > Utilities > Alarm > Alert Type
The ALERT TYPE screen shows with Beep Medium selected (the default alert type).
2 Select your alert type (Beep Short, Beep Medium, Beep Long, Vibrate). You must scroll down to select
Vibrate.
3
Press ACT. The alert type is set. Alarms/alerts will beep or vibrate as selected.
4 Press ESC until the HOME screen appears.
Entering your glucose monitoring settings

dependent upon other settings being made first. When you complete each setting, your monitor will
automatically display the screen for the next setting in the sequence. When a screen item flashes, you
may change the value of the flashing item by pressing
