• Confirm an alert on your app and receiver
• Customize your alerts on your app and receiver

10.2 Alarm and Alerts Overview

G6 alarm/alerts can keep you safe from severe lows or highs.
When your G6 reading goes from your target range to your alarm/alerts level, your
display device tells you with a visual notification, and vibrations or sound, depending
on the alarm/alert and your display device. Until you confirm the glucose-related alarm/
alert, every 5 minutes you get the alarm/alert screen along with a notification and a
vibration. Until you're back in your target range, the alarm/alert information will stay on
your home screen.
If you use both your smart device and receiver, be sure to set up alerts on each one.
Alerts you set up on your receiver only work on your receiver. The same is true of the
app.
