ALERT PROFILE OPTIONS

The vibrate profile can be used when you want to silence the
receiver and be alerted by vibration. The only exception to this will
be with the fixed low alarm at 3.1 mmol/L, which will alert you as
a vibration first, followed by audible beeps 5 minutes later if not
confirmed.
The soft profile can be used when you need your alert to be
discreet. This profile sets all the alerts and alarms to lower volume
beeps, which is intended to be less noticeable by people around
you.
This normal profile is the default profile when you receive your
system. This profile sets all the alerts and alarms to higher volume
beeps.
The attentive profile can be used when you need your alert to be
the most noticeable. This profile sets all the alerts and alarms to
loud and highly distinctive melodies.
The hyporepeat profile is very similar to the normal profile. The
difference with this profile is it will continuously repeat the fixed low
alarm every 5 seconds until your sensor glucose value rises above
3.1 mmol/L or if it is confirmed. This profile can be helpful if you
want an additional level of awareness when you have severe low
sensor glucose readings.
HELPFUL HINT:
The "Try It" feature is available under the profiles menu and
allows you to hear an example of the alert sequence and
sound for each individual alert and alarm. Once you hear the
sounds, it is easier to understand the alert profile options.
