Test Receiver Speaker And Vibrations - Dexcom G5 Getting Started Manual

9.5 Test Receiver Speaker and Vibrations

You have to hear and feel an Alarm or Alert to respond to it. But what if the receiver's
speaker or vibrations aren't working? Test them!
When you plug in the receiver to charge, you'll see a Speaker Test screen for a few
seconds. Use the speaker test to listen for the test beep and feel for the test vibrations.
If you get the beep and vibrations, great! The speaker and vibrations work! You'll hear
and feel your Alarm and Alerts. But if the receiver doesn't beep and/or vibrate, it may be
broken and you won't hear and/or feel the Alarm or Alerts.
To test your speaker and vibrations, follow these steps:
1
2
3
4
Plug receiver into the wall to charge.
The light shows the receiver is charging.
Tap Test Now quickly before screen
disappears.
If screen disappears too quickly, unplug
receiver and go to first step.
Listen for the beeps and feel for the vibrations.
Is your receiver set to Vibrate or Soft? This test
will still work. If speaker and vibrations work,
receiver will beep loudly and vibrate anyway.
