1Brightness
Set daytime and night brightness levels
Use the slider to set your default brightness to a comfortable level for your environment.
Night Brightness — Set a separate brightness level that activates automatically between the start and end hours you choose. Set it lower than your daytime brightness for comfortable nighttime viewing.
Simplified Night Theme — Changes the display to just color-coded glucose on a dark background during night hours.
Red Color Filter — Restricts the display to red tones during night hours. Red light has less impact on sleep than white or blue light.
Turn Off Screen — The screen turns off completely during night hours. Tap it once to wake for 30 seconds. The screen auto-wakes when an alert fires and returns to off after the alert is snoozed.
