11.5 App: Alarm/Alert Recommended Settings
The receiver is a standalone medical device and used solely to monitor your
glucose trends.
The app can’t override your smart device settings:
•
When your smart device is on Silent, you’ll still receive Alarm/Alerts
visual prompts and messages, but not vibrations if you haven’t
adjusted your smart device settings
•
Some smart devices don’t have a Vibration feature, so you won’t get
any vibration notifications
•
When your ringer’s volume is low, you may not hear an Alarm or Alert
•
When your smart device is in Do Not Disturb mode, you won’t receive
any Alarm/Alerts. The G5 Mobile app can’t override the Do Not
Disturb setting
•
If you don’t enable your G5 Mobile push Notifications settings during
setup, you won’t get any Alarm/Alerts
•
Check in Settings under Notifications on how your Alarm/Alerts are
prioritized
For information on smart device settings, see your smart device’s instructions.
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.
