6.11 THE DEXCOM G4 PLATINUM SYSTEM AND WATER
Your sensor is water resistant when showering, bathing or swimming if the transmitter is fully snapped in.
The sensor has been tested to be water resistant when submerged for up to 8 feet and up to 24 hours.
Keep the receiver dry. Do not spill fluids on it or drop it into fluids.
Keep the micro USB port cover closed
to help prevent fluid 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 or water bed.
If your receiver gets wet, make sure the speaker and vibrate mode are still working. You can do this using
the Try It option in the Profiles menu. See Chapter 9, Section 9.3, Alert Profiles.
