4.1 CHARGING THE RECEIVER BATTERY

The receiver battery is rechargeable and will last about 3 days with
normal use before you need to charge it. The battery life depends on
how often you press the receiver buttons or get alerts. The receiver will
tell you when the battery charge is low.
Charge the receiver battery using one of these options:
• an AC power outlet
• a personal computer with Windows
the receiver from the PC, Dexcom STUDIO must be installed. For
system requirements and more information, see the Dexcom website
(www.dexcom.com) or the Dexcom STUDIO Software User's Guide.)
Only use the Dexcom battery charger provided in the receiver kit. Do not
use any other battery charger.
Charge only from a USB port on the computer or the AC power
adapter. Do not use an external USB hub. An external USB hub
may not provide enough power to charge the receiver.
Fully charging an empty battery takes about 3 hours with the wall
charger and about 5 hours with a computer. The battery does not need
to be drained to charge fully.
You may use the receiver while it is charging with an AC power outlet or
PC.
