Dexcom G5 Mobile System User Guide

Calibration

110

Once your startup calibration is done, your update calibration schedule

begins.

The steps to enter your update calibrations are the same as your initial

calibration, including only entering values in one display device. The only

difference is, with update calibrations, enter your BG meter value just once.

The default BG value is your current reading if available or 120 mg/dL.

Like the reminders you received with your initial calibration, if you don’t enter

your BG meter values right away, the system prompts you every 15 minutes.
