NOTE: The ESTIMATED GLUCOSE banner does not always
mean you need to calibrate. Tap the banner for informa-

6.5 for details about estimated glucose.

Entering a calibration reading
In order to calibrate, all of the following must be true:
IMPORTANT
: After the second calibration, you can
always calibrate early in order to shift your calibration
schedule to a more convenient time. For example, if the
next calibration is due at 23:00, you may choose to cali-
brate at 19:00 instead if that is a more convenient time.
In that case, your next scheduled calibration would be at
19:00 (24 hours later).
In the app, there are a few ways to tell when it is time to
calibrate:
•
On the HOME screen, the TIME TO CALIBRATE banner
appears. Tap the banner to calibrate.
•
On the TRANSMITTERS screen, the message area indicates
that it is time to calibrate. Tap CALIBRATE to calibrate.
If you have allowed the app to send notifications and have
turned on the calibration alert, you will receive a notifica-
tion when it is time to calibrate.
5.1.1
What happens without calibration
If you do not enter a calibration reading, the CGM will con-
tinue to display glucose levels for a period of time, but
they will appear with an ESTIMATED GLUCOSE banner to
indicate that the data quality may be lower than usual.
Estimated glucose levels appear as light grey points on
the trend chart. See SECTION 6.5 for details about esti-
mated glucose.
•
Your glucose, according to the BGM, is between 3.9-13.9
mmol/L.
•
Your glucose is changing less than 0.11 mmol/L per mi-
nute.
•
A session is in progress.
•
The CALIBRATE button is enabled.
If any of the above are not true, you will not be able to
CALIBRATE.
