CHARGING YOUR RECEIVER BATTERY

The receiver battery is rechargeable. The
rechargeable battery will typically last about 3 days
before you need to charge it with the charging cable
provided. Your battery life depends on how often you
interact with your receiver. The receiver will alert you
when the battery charge is low.
The receiver battery may be charged using one of the
following options:
• an AC power outlet
• a personal computer with Windows operating system (to charge your receiver
from your 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.)
It takes about 3 hours to fully charge an empty battery with the wall charger, and
about 5 hours when the receiver is connected to a computer.
You can charge your receiver at any time and the battery does not need to be
drained in order to fully charge the battery.
HELPFUL HINT:
• When the receiver is used in a healthcare facility, charging must take
place away from the patient.
