12.4 Changing Receiver Alarm and Alerts
You’ll notice a flow difference between the app and the receiver when
personalizing your Alarm/Alerts. With the app, all Alert adjustments are made
from one screen, whereas in the receiver, you make changes in different
screens.
Unlike the app, you change your receiver’s tones (known as Profiles) through
a number of different screens in the Profiles menu.
Profiles
Profiles determine the sound and volume of your Alarm and Alerts.
As mentioned in the previous chapter, the receiver uses a series of
beeps/vibrations for an Alarm or Alert. The receiver doesn’t have the same
variety of tones as the app; however, you can adjust their volume. While the
receiver doesn’t have a silent mode, selecting Vibrate will replace audible
beeps with quiet vibrations. The only exception is the Alarm: the Urgent Low
Glucose Alarm can’t be turned off.
Changes made in Profiles are applied to all of the receiver’s Alarm/Alerts. If
you choose Soft (see next table), all Alerts are in Soft mode. In Chapter 11,
you learned how many beeps each Alarm/Alert has.
Normal is the default setting for your receiver sound Profiles.
Attentive uses a rising or falling melody instead of beeps.
The receiver first vibrates when sending you an Alarm or Alert. If you clear the
Alarm/Alert at the first vibration by pressing the Select button on your
navigation wheel, you won’t get any Alarm/Alert tones. If you would like to
continue to get your Alarm or Alert after clearing, later in this chapter you’ll
learn about setting up Repeat Alerts.
HypoRepeat is very similar to the Normal Profile, but keeps repeating the
Urgent Low Glucose Alarm every 5 seconds until your sensor glucose value
rises above 55 mg/dL or you confirm by pressing the Select button.
The next table lists the different sound Profiles, starting with the quietest,
working its way up to the loudest.
