Receiver Overview
Your receiver, as well as your smart device, shows your sensor glucose readings, trend
graphs, and trend arrows. They alert you when your glucose is too high or too low or if there
is something you should be aware of or need to do.
The receiver is neither water resistant nor waterproof and can get damaged if moisture gets
inside, so keep it away from any liquids and very high humidity as well as dirt and dust.
Keeping the micro USB port closed helps prevent damaging fluids and dust from getting
inside the receiver. If your receiver does get wet or dirty, test it to make sure the speaker and
vibrations still work (see Chapter 12).
If your receiver isn't charged, see Chapter 15 for charging your receiver's battery.
If you want to use the receiver along with a smart device, you need to set them up
separately.
Remember, you can't use a combination of smart devices during a sensor session; select just
one.
