Chapter 10: Alarm and Alerts
10.4 Confirming Alarm/Alerts
Alarm/alerts require you to confirm them. How this is done depends on your display
device. If using both display devices, you need to confirm the alarm/alert on each
device separately.
Due to its medical importance, the alarm is more persistent. Even after the alarm is
confirmed, if your G6 readings remain at or below 55 mg/dL, the Urgent Low Alarm will
sound every 30 minutes until G6 readings are above 55 mg/dL. During this 30 minutes,
you won’t get Low or Urgent Low Soon Alerts.
Below is one example of confirming an alert. All alarm/alerts are confirmed the same
way.
Confirm Alarm/Alerts Example
App: Open the app. Tap OK to confirm.
Receiver: Tap OK to confirm.
Once you confirm an alert, the home screen will show the alert. You only get the alert
again if you go back into your target range and then re-enter the alert range. If you
want to get repeated alerts when you stay in the alert range, use Repeat, as explained
below.
Your Urgent Low Alarm will always repeat, even after confirming, if your glucose levels
don't return to your target range. You can’t change your Urgent Low Alarm.
