Charging Receiver’s Battery
The receiver’s status bar lets you see its battery level and prompts you when
the battery is getting low. While the receiver is being charged, you will
continue to get your sensor glucose readings if the transmitter and receiver
are within 20 feet of each other.
Each charge lasts approximately two days. If your receiver’s battery was
drained, after charging, you may need to reset its time and date. If this is
required, the system tells you to reset and takes you to the time/date setting
screens.
