• Charge your Receiver battery before each Sensor insertion. Periodically
check your battery level to make sure it has enough charge.
• If your battery drains and is not charged for about 6 months, the backup
battery might also drain. When this happens, you will need to reset your
Receiver time and date (see Section 2.3).
• Only use the DexCom battery charger provided in the Starter Kit. Do not
use any other battery charger.
