All G6 Components
• To keep your G6 working safely, do not change any G6 component.
• Each part comes in its own package. Keep the packaging until you're no longer
using its contents.
Charging Receiver Battery
The battery icon on the receiver status bar shows how much charge is left and notifies
you when the battery is getting low. While the receiver is being charged, you continue
to get your G6 readings if the transmitter and receiver are within 20 feet of each other.
