The Rate alerts tell you when your sensor glucose (SG) changes at, or faster than, the per-minute rate pre-
selected by you. There are two alerts:

You can set one or both Rate alerts. The rate alert default setting is OFF. When you press
or , the
number 4.0 mg/dL (0.220 mmol/L) shows, then adjust up or down with each additional press.
The explanation below shows how the Rate alerts work.
If you set the number Then

• The system is more sensitive to SG changes
•Alerts are more frequent than if you use a higher number
Higher than 4.0 mg/dL (0.220 mmol/L)
