RECEIVER OVERVIEW

The receiver is a small hand-held device that shows your sensor glucose
readings, direction and rate of change arrow and trend graph. The international
standard unit of measurement used for glucose testing systems (i.e., blood
glucose meters) is mmol/L (millimoles per liter). The transmission range from
the transmitter to the receiver is up to 6 meters.
Your receiver is rated IP22, which means that it offers some protection from rain
drops. Do not spill fluids on the receiver or drop the receiver into fluids. Keep
the micro USB port cover closed to help prevent fluid and dust from getting
inside the receiver.
Wireless communication does not work well through water so the range is much
less if you are in a pool, bathtub, water bed, etc.
