■ Set Diagnostic Functions
The Diagnostics screen allows you to instantly confirm how the
System is working or to completely update settings entered dur-
ing setup (see Chapter 2, Getting Started). Options include:
Check alarms: Confirms that all alarms work properly when
needed. When you select this function, the PDM beeps, then the
Pod beeps.
If you choose On, other PDM options and most
other soft keys are locked and will not respond to
button presses. To use them, you must first set PDM
lock to Off.
Figure 6-14
The lowest setting, 5 seconds, will drain the battery the
least.
If the PDM fails to beep, immediately call Customer
Support at 800-591-3455 (from outside the United
States, 781-457-5098). If a Pod is active and fails to
beep, change the Pod immediately (see Chapter 5,
Using the OmniPod). Continuing to use the System
in these situations may put your health and safety at
risk.
