Setting the Alarm Snooze
After you receive and clear a METER BG NOW alert, the monitor will repeat the alert until you enter a new
meter blood glucose measurement. The Alarm Snooze feature allows you to set how frequently you want
the alert to repeat after you clear it.
1 Make sure the EDIT SETTINGS screen is open.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Setup > Edit Settings
2 Select Alarm Snooze, then press ACT. The SET ALARM SNOOZE screen flashes the default Alarm
Snooze time of 30 minutes (0:30).
3 Set your Alarm Snooze time between 5 minutes (0:05) and 1 hour (1:00).
4 Press ACT. The EDIT SETTINGS screen shows the Alarm Snooze time you selected.
Setting the Cal Reminder
After you calibrate your system for the first time, you must calibrate it again within the next six hours.
The Cal Reminder feature allows you to set a reminder to calibrate your system. For example, if you set
your reminder to four hours, then you will receive a Cal Reminder (Meter BG By) four hours before the
next meter BG entry is due (eight hours after your last successful sensor calibration). If you miss a
calibration, the system will send you a METER BG NOW alert.
To set up the Cal Reminder:
1 Make sure the EDIT SETTINGS screen is open.
MAIN MENU > Sensor > Sensor Setup > Edit Settings
2 Select Cal Reminder, then press ACT. The CAL REMINDER screen shows On.
3 Press ACT. The SET CAL REMINDER screen flashes the Cal Reminder default time of 1 hour (1:00).
4 Select your Cal Reminder time between 5 minutes (0:05) and 6 hours (6:00).
5 Press ACT. The EDIT SETTINGS screen shows the Cal Reminder time you selected. You are now ready
to enter the ID number of your transmitter.
