Managing Multiple Devices
Once all devices are pairod, you 'll see your glucose data on each one. However, there are important nuances to avoid confusion or data gaps.
Konflikty Data Synchronization
Te Dexcom G6 transmiter broadcasts data ta all connected devices at te same time. Each device receives thee same glucose value every five minutes. However, thee apps and receivers may display slightly different readings if one device is out of range or has a delayed connection. To minimize dispancies, keep all devices wising in Bluetooth range (appromiately 20 feet). If you cary a phone eyen eur pecket and leache dereque oven our oil.

Device Not Discovering Transmitter
If a device cannot find the transmitter, first ensure thee transmitter is activee and not storage mode. Transmitters ship with a plastic tab that prevents battery drain; remove it before first use. If thee tab is missing, thee transmiter may already bee activated. Check the transmitter ID sticker - if thee outer layer is missing, thee ID may still bee reablable undepter ther the sensor. Next, verify Bluetooth ienabled one thene device and thene device.
Multiple Devices Showing Different Values
This is usually a timing issue. The transmitter sends a new glucose reading every five minutes. If one device is out of range ise when thee reading is Broaddast, it will stick te te last known value until it reconnects. The next update will correct it.
