10 Select your Low Glucose Limit. The available range is:
• 40 to 390 mg/dL (2.2 to 21.6 mmol/L) for CSS7100
• 90 to 390 mg/dL (5.0 to 21.6 mmol/L) for CSS7100K
11
Press ACT. The default High Glucose Limit flashes (OFF).
12 Select your High Glucose Limit, then press ACT. The value must be between:
• 50 and 400 mg/dL (2.8 and 22.2 mmol/L) for CSS7100
• 100 and 400 mg/dL (5.56 and 22.2 mmol/L) for CSS7100K
13 Press ACT. The SET START TIME 3 screen appears.
14
The second pair of Glucose Limits (Glucose Limits 2) is now set. If you do not need any more Glucose
Limits pairs, press ESC. If you want to set more Glucose Limits, then repeat step 7 through step 13
above for each pair, up to a maximum of eight.
15 If you wish to switch off either the Low or High Glucose Limits independently of each other, reduce
the Low Glucose Limit below 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) for step 3 to select OFF, or reduce the High
Glucose Limit below 50 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L) for step 5 to select OFF.
Setting the High Snooze
After you receive and clear a High Glucose, Rise Rate of Change, or High Predictive alert, the alert will
repeat until the condition that caused the alert is resolved. The High Snooze feature allows you to set how
frequently you want the alert to repeat after you clear it the first time. For example, if your glucose
levels usually take one to two hours to fall after a correction bolus or injection, you may want to set the
High Snooze to one or two hours to avoid unnecessary alerts.
Example
You set your High Snooze to 15 minutes. You receive an alert at 13:00 and immediately clear it; however,
the condition that caused the alert still exists, so you will receive a second alert at 13:15, 15 minutes
after you cleared the first alert. If you immediately clear the alert again, then the alert will repeat at
13:30 and continue to repeat every 15 minutes until you resolve the condition that caused the alert. (This
example also applies to the Low Snooze.)
To set up your High Snooze:
1 Make sure the EDIT SETTINGS screen is open.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Setup > Edit Settings
2 Select High Snooze, then press ACT. The SET HIGH SNOOZE screen flashes the default High Snooze
time of 1 hour (1:00).
3 Select your High Snooze time. The time must be between 5 minutes (0:05) and 3 hours (3:00).
