Bathing,
Showering,
and Swimming
Your Caps should not be used or carried when
bathing, showering or swimming.
Your Sensor is water-resistant and can be worn
while bathing, showering, or swimming.
Note: Do NOT take your Sensor deeper than
three feet (one meter) or immerse it longer than
30 minutes in water.
Sleeping Your Sensor should not interfere with your sleep.
It is recommended that you scan your Sensor
before going to sleep and when you wake up
because your Sensor holds only 8 hours of data
at a time. For example, if you sleep for 9 hours
without scanning your Sensor, 1 hour of data will
not be collected and a gap will Appear on your
App glucose graph. Keep your phone within
communication range (20 ft) to receive alerts and
close enough to hear any audible alerts.

When you are traveling, always carry extra
diabetes supplies with you. Do NOT put your
diabetes supplies with your checked baggage, as
they may be lost or not maintained at the required
temperature, especially your insulin. Consult your
health care provider before traveling.
When traveling by air, always check with TSA and
other international airport security organizations
for current rules and regulations regarding travel
through security. You may nd it helpful to carry
a letter from your health care provider that states
you have diabetes and are wearing/carrying a
medical device, and any medications you take.
