Dexcom G6 User Manual page 137

When making treatment decisions using your G6, it's best to keep your alerts turned
on. Your Urgent Low Soon, Low, High, and Signal Loss Alerts are on when you set up
your display device. The Rise and Fall Rate Alerts are off. Later in this chapter, you'll
learn how to customize them.
What you hear, feel, and see
App first notification: If you have your smart device sound on, it vibrates and makes a
noise on the initial alert. If you have turned off the sound, it only vibrates. Each alert
has its own vibration pattern.
Receiver first notification: For the receiver, unlike the app, the first alert does not make
sound (it comes on the first re-alert). The exceptions are these four alarm/alerts that
sound the first time:
• Urgent Low Alarm
• Urgent Low Soon Alert
• Sensor Failed Alert
• Transmitter Error Alert
WARNING
Get Alarm/Alerts on Display Device You Use
To get your alarm/alerts, set them on the display device you use. Your receiver won't
get the alarm/alerts you set on your app. Likewise, your app won't get the alarm/
alerts you set on your receiver.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don't, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
