3. Smart Device
NOTE: The Dexcom G5 Mobile App cannot override
your smart device settings.

Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System Quick Start Guide
Your transmitter sends
sensor glucose information
directly to your smart device
using Bluetooth
technology.
Bluetooth on your smart
device must be ON in order to
receive CGM data and alerts.
Things to consider if choosing
your smart device only:
• Do you use Do Not Disturb
or set your device to silent
often? Your phone settings
impact your alerts. For
example, you will not get
audible alerts if your device
is set to silent.
