How to make glucose alerts silent
The Alert Silence feature allows you to silence glucose alerts for a preset amount of time. You may use this
feature when you are in a business meeting, watching a movie in a theater, and so on. The system records
the time and glucose measurement for each alert during this silent period. You can see this alert information
in the SENSOR ALERT HISTORY screen. See the Sensor alert history section in this chapter for details.
When one or more glucose alerts occur during the time when the Alert Silence feature is turned on, the pump
displays the ALERT SILENCE screen without beeping or vibrating. If this alert is not cleared before the end
of the silenced period, the pump beeps or vibrates periodically at the end of the preset time until the alert
is cleared. Press ESC, then ACT to clear the alert.
You can make the glucose alerts silent in the following ways:
• Off — This means the Alert Silence feature is Off and the alerts are On. The pump beeps or vibrates
when any sensor glucose alert occurs.
• Hi Alerts — The pump does not beep or vibrate if a high or rising sensor related alert occurs during the
specified time.
• Lo Alerts — The pump does not beep or vibrate if a low or falling sensor related alert occurs during the
specified time.
• Hi and Lo Alerts — The pump does not beep or vibrate if a high or low, rising or falling sensor related
alert occurs during the specified time.
• All Sensor Alerts — The pump does not beep or vibrate if any sensor glucose alert occurs during the
specified time, including the Hi and Lo glucose alerts, Cal Reminder, and Meter BG Now alerts.
The amount of time that you can make glucose alerts silent is:
• Minimum: 30 minutes
• Maximum: 24 hours
