CHAPTER 4: CHARGING YOUR RECEIVER AND
THE RECEIVER MAIN MENU
4.1 CHARGING YOUR RECEIVER BATTERY
The receiver battery is rechargeable and will last about 3 days with
normal use before you need to charge it. Your battery life depends on
how often you press your receiver buttons or get alerts. The receiver will
tell you when the battery charge is low.
Charge the receiver battery using one of these options:
• Section 4.1.1: an AC power outlet
• Section 4.1.2: 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.)
Only use the Dexcom battery charger provided in the receiver kit. Do not
use any other battery charger.
Charge only from a USB port on your computer or the AC power
adapter. Do not use an external USB hub. An external USB hub
may not provide enough power to charge the receiver.
Fully charging an empty battery takes about 3 hours with the wall
charger and about 5 hours with a computer. The battery does not need
to be drained to charge fully.
You may use the receiver while it is charging with an AC power outlet
or PC.
