Sensor Glucose Alarm and Alerts
211
Warning
Don’t: Assume the app Alarm/Alert vibrations are different from other
vibrating apps on your smart device.
Do: Look at the screen of your smart device and check to see if the sound
or vibration is from the G5 Mobile app.
Why: Medical device apps, like this app, don’t have any special priorities
over your smart device’s features. App notifications or alerts may sound or
feel the same as notifications from another app.
Consequences: You might miss a severe low or high glucose event.
Warning
Do:
Make sure you unplug your headphones from your smart device when
you are done using them.
Why: An Alarm or Alert can’t be heard through your smart device’s
speakers if headphones are plugged in.
Consequences: You might not hear an Alarm or Alert, causing you to
miss a severe low or high glucose event.
Precaution
Don’t:
Separate the transmitter from the receiver or smart device by more
than 20 feet.
Why: The transmission range from the transmitter to receiver or smart
device is up to 20 feet without obstruction. If your transmitter and display
device(s) are more than 20 feet apart or are separated by an obstruction,
they might not communicate.
Types of obstruction differ and not all have been tested. Obstructions can
include water, walls, metal, etc.
