Why Am I Receiving Signal Loss for Over an Hour on My Smart Device?
A "Signal Loss" alert from the BUZUD CGM system means that your display device* has temporarily stopped receiving glucose readings from the sensor due to a connection issue.
The Signal Loss alert appears on both the BUZUD CGM app and receiver as follows:
- Signal Loss alert in the app
- Signal Loss alert on the receiver
Common Causes of Signal Loss:
- The distance between the display device and the BUZUD CGM transmitter is too far
- Phone settings may be preventing the app from running properly in the background or maintaining Bluetooth connection
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Ensure your smart device or receiver* is within 6 meters (20 feet) of the BUZUD CGM transmitter with no major obstacles in between.
- Make sure you are using a phone listed on BUZUD’s compatible devices list.
- Verify that your phone settings follow the recommended BUZUD iPhone or Android settings.
- Have the following information ready:
- Your BUZUD CGM app login credentials
- The Transmitter ID currently in use
How to Re-Pair the Transmitter:
- Open the BUZUD CGM app and remove the currently paired CGM device.
- Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings, locate the BUZUD CGM device, and select Unpair.
These steps should help resolve most signal loss issues.
If the Problem Persists:
- Contact BUZUD Technical Support for further assistance.
- Use your Blood Glucose Meter (BGM) to make treatment decisions during this period.
- Refer to the BUZUD CGM User Guide for more details on the Signal Loss alert, other notifications, and recommended device settings.
