Dexcom G6 Instructions For Use Manual page 16

• Notifications:
• Make sure your smart device settings allow Dexcom app notifications to
show on your lock screen. This will allow you to see notifications without
unlocking your phone.
• Apple: During G6 setup, enable Dexcom app notifications or you will not
get alarm/alerts.
• Battery: The app must always be running in the background and may drain
your smart device battery. Keep the battery charged.
• Compatibility: Before upgrading your smart device or its operating system,
check dexcom.com/compatibility. Automatic updates of the app or your
device operating system can change settings or shut down the app. Always
update manually and verify correct device settings afterward.
• Time: Let the date and time on your smart device automatically update when
you travel across time zones or switch between standard and daylight-saving
times. Do not manually change your smart device time, because it can make
the time on the trend screen wrong and the app may stop displaying data.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
Precautions
• Check Accessory Devices
Do you use headphones with your smart device? What about Bluetooth speakers
or a smart watch? When using accessories, keep in mind you may get your
alarm/alerts on only one device or accessory, not all. After connecting any
accessory devices, make sure that your smart device settings allow you to
continue receiving alarms or alerts.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
