Receiver Warning and Precaution
Warning
Don't Use Damaged Goods
If your receiver is damaged or cracked, don't use it. This could create an electrical safety
hazard or malfunction, causing possible electrical shocks.
Precaution
Keep Receiver Dry
Keep the USB port cover on the receiver closed whenever the USB cable is not attached and
do not submerge in water.
If 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 Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System to sale by or on order of
a physician.
