1.4 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 Windows-compatible computer (Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows
Vista SP2, Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Microsoft Server 2008 SP2)
In order to use a PC cable to charge your receiver, you will need to install the
driver for this receiver. Please see the Dexcom Studio installation card for driver
installation instructions.
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.
