Use correct components: Dexcom G7 CGM System components aren't compatible
with any previous Dexcom products. Don't mix with different generations.
Going through security check point: You can wear the Dexcom G7 CGM System
sensor for the walk-through metal detector and Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT)
body scanner. If you do, use your BG meter for treatment decisions until you leave the
security area. This is because the Dexcom G7 CGM System hasn't been tested with
every x-ray and security scanner and you may not be able to bring a display device.
You can also ask for hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and visual inspection
instead of going through any walk through body scanners or putting any part of the
Dexcom G7 CGM System in the baggage scanning machine.
Keep your sensor close to display device: Keep your sensor and display device
within 6 meters with no obstacles between them. Otherwise, they might not be able to
communicate.
Get alerts on display device you use: To get your alerts, set them on the display
device you use. Your receiver won't get the alerts you set in your app. Likewise, your
app won't get the alerts you set on your receiver.
Display device is on: Make sure your display device is turned on or you won't receive
sensor readings or alerts.
Test speaker and vibrations: 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 it doesn't beep and vibrate, contact Dexcom
