With the exception of Dexcom Share , the primary difference between the two
monitoring systems is not the data itself, but how it’s presented.
The next section walks you through the initial setup for the app. To set up the
receiver, go to Section 5.5. If you want to use both the app and the receiver,
you need to setup each individually.
Once you have completed the initial setup, you’re one step closer to beginning
your sensor session!
5.4 App
Before starting your first sensor session, pick the smart device you want to
use. As mentioned in the previous chapter, you can use the receiver with one
smart device during a session; however, you can’t use multiple smart devices
during the same session.
While your smart device can have the app installed, part of your initial setup is
entering the transmitter’s serial number (SN). If by accident you enter the SN
into more than one smart device, the system warns you and you won’t be able
to complete the setup process.
Suggested Smart Device Settings
Bluetooth is designed for wireless communication between devices (unlike
Wi-Fi
®
, which wirelessly connects devices to the Internet). Your transmitter
communicates to your app via Bluetooth
®
Smart! Before beginning, make
sure your smart device’s Bluetooth is available and turned on.
Refer to your smart device’s user guide if you have questions on how to
change your smart device settings.
• While checking your Bluetooth settings, check to see Silent and Do
Not Disturb are off. Your app does not override these settings; if you
have them on, you will miss Alarm/Alerts
• After verifying all your settings are correct, there is one more thing to
check. Make sure your smart device’s Volume is loud enough for you
to hear any Alarm/Alerts
• Make sure your smart device settings allow your Alarm/Alerts to
always show on your lock screen
