Precautions
• Check Peripheral Devices
Do you use headphones with your smart device? What about Bluetooth speakers
or a smart watch? When using peripherals, keep in mind you may get your alarm/
alerts on only one device or peripheral, not all. After connecting any peripheral
devices, make sure that your smart device settings allow you to continue receiving
alarms or alerts.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don't, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
Receiver Safety Statements
Warnings
• Don't Use if Damaged
Don't use a receiver that is damaged or cracked. A damaged receiver could cause
injuries from electrical shocks and may make the G6 not work correctly.
• Use Cable as Directed
Use USB cable only as directed, and store safely. Misuse of the USB cable can be a
strangulation risk.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don't, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
Precautions
• Test Speaker and Vibrations
You have to hear or feel alarm/alerts to react to them, so test your receiver speaker
and vibrations regularly.
To make sure the speaker and vibrations work, plug in the receiver to charge. The
Speaker Test screen appears for a few seconds. Follow the directions on the screen
to test the speaker and vibrations. If you hear and feel them, great! But if it doesn't
beep and vibrate – perhaps it got wet or was dropped – contact Technical Support
and use your app until the receiver is fixed.
