[Diabetes-Talk] Using Camera to capture QRCode

[Les Fitzpatrick]

I wear mine on my thigh above my knee about a hands width but I ripped one
off yesterday carrying bags getting on a train.  I put the next one back on
my the other thigh, so we'll see.

Where do you wear yours?
I have to learn how to open it and get it started.

> Hello,

> slowly moved the camera/phone around until I felt a vibration and 
> heard Voiceover tell me that pairing was complete.



> I find that this looks to be better than the G6 app for the iPhone.



> Hope others using the G7 will try it and share their experience

Android device.
