Precautions
Test Receiver
Shortly after the receiver is powered on or plugged in to charge, it should
briefly vibrate and beep. If this doesn’t happen, it may mean the vibration
motor and/or speaker are not functioning properly. Please retry. If it still
doesn’t vibrate and beep, contact Technical Support.
If your receiver gets wet or dropped, make sure the speaker and vibrations
still work. To check, either plug it in, turn it on, or go to the
Sounds menu and
select
Try It . If it doesn’t vibrate and beep, contact Technical Support.
If the vibration motor and/or speaker on your receiver is not functioning
properly you may miss a severe low or high Alarm/Alert. Use the app on your
smart device until this issue is resolved.
Keep Receiver Clean and Dry
Do not get dirt or water in the USB port and do not submerge in water.
If dirt or water gets into the USB port, the receiver could become damaged
and stop displaying readings or providing Alerts; you might miss a severe low
or high glucose event.
Caution
U.S. law restricts the sale of the system to sale by or on order of a physician.
