 ## If using G6 or ONE with xDrip
 
-- If you are using a recent (Firefly) transmitter, preemptive restarts are **ignored**.
-- If you are using a modded transmitter you do **not need** to use preemptive restarts.
--   If you are using an old rebatteried transmitter, the safest thing to do is **disable** [preemptive restarts](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Preemptive-Restart.html). Though, in this case you will have to use the G6 in non-[native mode](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Native-Algorithm.html) (which is unadvisable as it disables factory calibration and doesn't filter noisy readings), or else the sensor will stop after 10 days.
--   The Dexcom G6 and ONE transmitters can simultaneously be connected to the Dexcom receiver (or alternatively the t:slim pump) and one app on your phone.
--   When using xDrip as receiver uninstall the Dexcom app first. **You cannot connect xDrip and Dexcom app with the transmitter at the same time!**
--   If you need Clarity and want to profit from xDrip alarms use the [BYODA](#DexcomG6-if-using-g6-with-build-your-own-dexcom-app) (only G6) with local broadcast to xDrip.
--   You can also use xDrip as a companion app of the official Dexcom app, but you might experience delays in BG readings.
--   If not already set up, download [xDrip](https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip) and follow the instructions on [xDrip settings page](../CompatibleCgms/xDrip.md).
--   Select xDrip in in [ConfigBuilder, BG Source](#Config-Builder-bg-source).

+## Dexcom sensors
 
-**Only rebatteried or modified Dexcom transmitters. [Preemptive restarts](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Preemptive-Restart.html) do not work with standard transmitters and will stop the sensor completely: you need to [remove the transmitter](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Remove-transmitter.html) to restart the sensor.**
+Everything related to the Dexcom sensor and transmitter themselves (starting, stopping, replacing, calibrating, troubleshooting) is documented and kept up to date in the [xDrip Dexcom documentation](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Dexcom_page.html). Follow those instructions for the sensor; the settings connecting xDrip to **AAPS** (described above on this page) are the only AAPS-specific part.
 
-The automatic extension of Dexcom sensors (`preemptive restarts`) is not recommended as this might lead to “jumps” in BG values on day 9 after restart.
+### Dexcom G6 and ONE
 
-![xDrip Jump after Preemptive Restart](../images/xDrip_Dexcom_PreemptiveJump.png)
+* Set up xDrip following the [recommended settings](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/G6-Recommended-Settings.html).
+* The Dexcom G6 and ONE transmitters can simultaneously be connected to the Dexcom receiver (or alternatively the t:slim pump) and one app on your phone.
+* When using xDrip as receiver uninstall the Dexcom app first. **You cannot connect xDrip and the Dexcom app with the transmitter at the same time!**

-To use it safely, there are a few points to be aware of: 
+#### Sensor restarts
 
-* If you are using the native data with the calibration code in xDrip or Spike, the safest thing to do is not allow preemptive restarts of the sensor.
-* If you must use preemptive restarts, then make sure you insert at a time of day where you can observe the change and calibrate if necessary. 
-* If you are restarting sensors, either do it without the factory calibration for safest results on days 11 and 12, or ensure you are ready to calibrate and keep an eye on variation.
-* Pre-soaking of the G6 with factory calibration is likely to give variation in results. If you do pre-soak, then to get best results, you will probably need to calibrate the sensor.
-* If you aren’t being observant about the changes that may be taking place, it may be better to revert to non-factory-calibrated mode and use the system like a G5.

-To learn more about the details and reasons for these recommendations read the [complete article](https://www.diabettech.com/artificial-pancreas/diy-looping-and-cgm/) published by Tim Street at [www.diabettech.com](https://www.diabettech.com).
+* xDrip always uses the transmitter's [native algorithm](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Native-Algorithm.html) with current transmitters; there is no reason to disable it.

+* Restarting a sensor on a Firefly transmitter requires [removing the transmitter](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Remove-transmitter.html) and readings can be significantly in error after the restart, which is dangerous when looping: read [Restart a sensor](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Restart-G6-sensor.html) in full and [calibrate carefully](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Calibrate-after-G6Restart.html).
