Steps

Do This

10.

Mute all audible alarms for

1 hour.

Note 1: You will still get vibration, visual alarms will still

be displayed and you will continue to get Low Glucose

alarms.

Note 2: If you want to turn off all alarms for more than

one hour, you should turn off each alarm individually.

Exercise caution when turning off or muting alarms. For

example, if you turn off the low and high glucose alarms,

you will NOT get low and high glucose alarms.

a. Select Mute Alarms from the Alarms menu.

b. Press the RIGHT Option button (Select) to mute

alarms for 1 hour.

Note: If you change your mind before you press the

RIGHT Option button (Select), press the LEFT Option

button (Cancel) to return to the Alarm screen without

muting the alarms. If the alarms are muted, you will see a

symbol indicating that the alarms are muted. Once

the alarms have been muted, they cannot be turned on

before the 1 hour expires.

Important: Muting the alarms is not recommended during

times when you are unable to interact with your receiver

(for instance, when you are asleep). Interacting with your

receiver includes activities such as pressing the buttons,

viewing the screen, or inserting a strip to do a BG test.
If no buttons are pressed during the 1 hour muting period

during which an alarm is active, the alarm response period

will elapse during the mute time and no further alarms

will sound until the display has been activated.

11.

Return to the main menu.

Press the LEFT Option button (Main) on the Alarms

menu to return to the main menu.

12.

Check your work.

Result: The result will be a receiver set up to alert you to

your glucose conditions, to system events, and to activity

progress in a way that you prefer.
You will have done this procedure correctly when the

receiver provides alarms as you want it to.
