4 Press ACT. The EDIT SETTINGS screen shows that the High Snooze is set.
Setting the Low Snooze
After you receive and clear a Low Glucose, Fall Rate of Change, or Low Predictive alert, the alert will
repeat until the condition that caused the alert is resolved. The Low Snooze feature allows you to set how
frequently you want the alert to repeat after you clear it the first time.
1 Make sure the EDIT SETTINGS screen is open.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Setup > Edit Settings
2 Select Low Snooze, then press ACT. The SET LOW SNOOZE screen flashes the default Low Snooze time
of 20 minutes (0:20).
3 Select your Low Snooze time. The time must be between 5 minutes (0:05) and 1 hour (1:00).
4 Press ACT. The EDIT SETTINGS screen shows the Low Snooze is set.
Setting the Predictive glucose alert
The Predictive alerts calculate when you will reach your Low or High Glucose Limits, then send you an
alert before you reach those limits. A Predictive alert tells you that if your sensor glucose measurements
keep falling or rising at the current rate, you will reach your Glucose Limit in the number of minutes you
selected.
Understanding the Time Sensitivity Settings
Time Sensitivity means the length of time, in minutes, you want to be notified before you reach your High
or Low Glucose Limit. If you set the Low time sensitivity setting at 25 minutes and the High time
sensitivity setting at 20 minutes, then the Predictive alerts will be sent:
• 25 minutes before the sensor glucose reaches your Low Glucose Limit
• 20 minutes before the sensor glucose reaches your High Glucose Limit
To set up the Predictive alerts:
1 Make sure the EDIT SETTINGS screen is open.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Setup > Edit Settings
2 Select Predictive Alm, then press ACT. The PREDICTIVE ALARMS LOW/HIGH screen shows that the
alerts are turned Off.
3 Select On, then press ACT. The SET TIME SENSITIVITY LOW/HIGH screen appears and the LOW time
setting flashes the default time: 15 minutes.
