11.5 App: Alarm/Alert Recommended Settings
The receiver is a stand-alone medical device and used solely to monitor your glucose trends.
The app cannot override the smart devices general settings.
The app can't override your smart device settings:
• When your smart device is on Silent, you'll still receive Alarms and 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 Dexcom G5 Mobile App can't override the Do Not Disturb setting
• If you don't enable your Dexcom G5 Mobile push Notifications settings during set up, 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.
