Silencing glucose alerts
The Alert Silence option lets you make SG alerts silent for a set period of time. This
is useful in situations where you do not want to disturb others, such as when you
are in a business meeting or in a movie theater. When using this option, one of
the following status icons appears on the Home screen, depending on your Audio
Options settings: vibrate only
, audio only , or vibrate and audio . Your
system still records the time and glucose value for any alerts that occur. You can
view this information in the Alarm History screen.
Note: Alert Silence does not silence the Auto Mode exit alert, the High
SG alert, or the Low SG XX mg/dL (XX represents 50 mg/dL or below)
alarm. These are based on set glucose thresholds and cannot be silenced.
If a glucose alert occurs when you are using the Alert Silence option, the
notification light begins to flash and the Sensor alert occurred alert appears to let
you know an alert was silenced, but there is no vibration or beep. If you have not
cleared the alert by the end of the preset alert silence duration, your pump begins
to beep or vibrate periodically until the alert is cleared.
The following table describes the glucose alerts that are silenced with each option.
