11.7 Clearing Alarm/Alerts
Alerts require you to acknowledge and clear them. How this is done depends
on your display device. If using both display devices, you'll need to clear each
separately.
Due to its medical importance, the Alarm is more persistent than an Alert.
Even after acknowledging and clearing an Alarm, if your sensor's glucose
readings remain at or below 55 mg/dL, an Alarm will sound every 30 minutes
until readings are above 55 mg/dL.
