How to Use Your User Guide
Start with the table of contents. The chapters include information that guides you through your sensor
session, from setting it up to taking it off.
All chapters in the G6 User Guide are laid out the same way: The beginning of each chapter lists what you'll
be able to do after you've finished, followed by the chapter's content. At the end, there's a recap of what was
covered and what's in the next chapter.
The appendices have additional information you may want to reference. For example, what do you do with
your G6 at airport security, how to find out about the warranty, and taking care of your device.
