On the Go With G5: Customizing Your Alarm
and Alerts

12.1 Introduction

The receiver and app come with default glucose Alert level settings, but perhaps they don't
reflect the glucose level that works best for you.
Perhaps you're in a meeting and can only clear an Alert, yet want to make sure your Alert
repeats, or continues, until you're able to take corrective measures. Maybe you'd like to get a
Rising/Falling glucose Alert, but their settings are off by default. How do you turn them on?
In this chapter, you'll learn how to personalize your Alarm and Alerts tones and
glucose levels.
Afterwards, you will be able to:
• Customize your Low/High Alerts
○ Dexcom G5 Mobile App
○ Dexcom G5 Mobile Receiver
• Adjust Alarm sound notification
• Use receiver's Advanced Alerts
○ Low/High Repeat
○ Rise/Fall Alerts
○ Signal Loss
Each display device has customization options; however the setup flow is different. Before
making any changes to your Alert levels, talk with your healthcare professional.
First, let's take a look at personalizing your app Alarm and Alerts, and then we'll review the
same process for the receiver.
