Sensor Glucose Alarm and Alerts
222
If you are concerned about missing an Alarm or Alert (for example, due to
smart device settings, app shutting off due to lack of storage, low smart device
battery, etc.), bring your receiver with you.
11.6 Receiver: Default Beeps and Vibrations
The receiver’s Alarm/Alerts are vibrations and a beep, or a series of beeps,
based on the Alarm or Alert. Beeps and vibrations are preprogrammed into
the receiver, and unlike the smart device, the volume can’t be changed.
In Chapter 12 you’ll learn how to adjust the volume and intensity of your
Alarm/Alerts.
The following is a table of the receiver’s default beep and vibration patterns. If
you clear the Alert’s initial vibration, you won’t get any beeps or sounds unless
you’ve turned on the Repeat Alert.
In the next section, you’ll learn how to clear the Alarm/Alerts.
