[Diabetes-Talk] Another G5 question - and, we are still waiting

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

A little tip I've used for various things is to Facetime a sighted person on
my iPhone when I need a pair of eyes for something. For those with iPhones
or iPads, this is a great option for when you need sighted help but no one
is around or available to come over immediately.

Thanks Tom!  I was afraid that this was the answer.  I'll mark my 2nd
transmitter box with the number in braille, so that I have it three months
from now.  Tap Tap See didn't read the number, so I tried the camera.  I'm
just glad that there was someone sighted at our house at the time.

Hi Jamie, 

I don't have an answer for the camera and the serial number. I've never had
success with it. There is a work around. On the screen where it tells you to
point the camera at the barcode, there is a button to enter the serial
number manually, so if you know the serial number, you can type it in. When
my two transmitters arrive every six months, I have someone read me the
serial number off the box and I write them in my phone. I mark each
transmitter box distinctly so I know which serial number goes with which
box. Then I have the serial numbers to type in when I need to begin using a
new transmitter.

Hope this helps,
Tom
