■ Customize the Personal Diabetes Manager
Additional options let you customize how the PDM operates:
PDM lock: “Locks” the buttons on the PDM. The default setting is
Off. This safety feature can help avoid accidentally changing
basal rates or giving boluses.
Screen time-out: The screen turns off after a time interval that
you set, which occurs if you have not pressed any buttons on the
PDM. This setting preserves battery power by turning off the
screen when you are not using it. Choose an interval of 10, 20, or
30 seconds. Set it at the lowest setting (10 seconds) to maximize
battery life. The default is 20 seconds.
Backlight time-out: The backlight is on by default while you are
using the PDM. The time-out setting dims the backlight and
causes the screen to dim when you have not used it within the
time interval that you set. Choose an interval of 5, 10, or 20 sec-
onds. Set at the lowest setting (5 seconds) to maximize battery
life. The default is 10 seconds.
Set PDM options
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose Settings, then press Select.
2. Choose System setup, then press Select.
3. Choose PDM options (Figure 6-12), then press Select.
4. Choose one of the PDM (Figure 6-13), then press Select.
Press and hold the Power button to turn the screen back
on. In some cases, if it has been less than 5 minutes since
the screen timed out, pressing the Power button returns
you to the same screen you were using. If it has been lon-
ger than 5 minutes, the PDM brings you to the Status
screen.
