Line Graph
Reports Show continuous glucose lines (plotted at 10-minute intervals) for several different periods (2, 4,
6, 12, or 24 hours).
Link This procedure is performed so that the receiver can be paired with a transmitter. Once linked,
the receiver would know to accept information from that transmitter alone. When shipped out of
the factory, the receiver and transmitter are already linked.
Low Glucose
Alarm An alarm that tells you when you go below your low glucose threshold (a number you and your
healthcare team will set).
Low Glucose
Threshold The level that you do not want your glucose level to fall below. You and your healthcare team
choose the level that is right for you, and you set it in the system. The Low Glucose alarm and the
Projected Low Glucose alarm use the low glucose threshold.
Main Menu Displays a list of options that allow you to perform many functions and view specific information.
Meal Event A record of a meal and snack that you enter in the system to help you see patterns in your glucose
levels. The time and date are always recorded. You may also record carbohydrate grams to help
you count carbohydrates or determine insulin/carbohydrate ratios.
Multi-Day
Statistics A type of statistical report that shows a summary of glucose results in relation to your glucose
targets over a specified number of days. You can choose 3, 7, 14, 21, or 28-day periods.
Progress Tones Communicate progress, errors, and successful completion of system activities such as Blood
Glucose mode testing.
Projected High
Alarm Provides an early warning when you are approaching your high glucose threshold.
Projected Low
Alarm Provides an early warning when you are approaching your low glucose threshold.
Receiver (Rx) Also called Rx. A wireless component of the system that looks and feels much like a traditional
blood glucose meter. However, unlike traditional blood glucose meters, the receiver can provide
you with continuous glucose readings from the sensor. The receiver also has a built-in FreeStyle
Blood Glucose Meter that works as a traditional blood glucose meter when a FreeStyle Test
Strip is inserted into the test strip port. You can wear the receiver on your belt or carry it in your
pocket or purse.
Receiver Display
Screen The rectangular window on the center of the receiver that displays glucose levels and other
important information.
Receiver Skin The receiver skin is an optional accessory for use with your FreeStyle Navigator Receiver.
Receiver Status Provides you with information regarding the receiver, including serial number, software version,
and remaining battery life. This information can be accessed from your System menu item in the
Main menu.
Receiver Test
Strip Port The slot on the lower left edge of the receiver where you insert the FreeStyle Test Strips to
calibrate the system or perform Blood Glucose mode tests.
