■ Set a Vibration Alert
For certain reminders and alerts, you can choose vibration
instead of beeps or vibration followed by beeps, instead of only
beeps. If you set the vibration alert, the PDM will vibrate for:
• Blood Glucose reminders
• Missed Bolus reminders
•Custom Alerts
• “No active Pod” reminders
To change the type of alert
1. Use the Up/Down Controller button to choose Settings;
then press Select.
2. Choose Vibration alert, then press Select.
3. Choose Vibrate, Vibrate then beep, or Off (beep only), then
press Select. (Vibrate then beep means the PDM will repeat
the reminder twice using vibration. After that, it uses beeps.)
Or press Back to return to the Settings menu.
■ Get the Most from Your PDM
Keep it handy
Wireless communication technology means you don’t have to
keep the PDM right next to the Pod for the Pod to work. Once
you set your basal program, the Pod continues to deliver your
basal program 24 hours a day, regardless of the location of the
PDM. However, you still need the PDM to deliver a bolus, change
the basal rate, reference a food item, and so on. You can store the
PDM conveniently inside an article of clothing (like a shirt
pocket) or put it discreetly into a drawer, briefcase, or purse.
Communicating with the Pod
When you use the PDM to communicate with the OmniPod,
hold the PDM within 24'' (61 cm) of the Pod. If you wear the Pod
on your abdomen, holding the PDM in your hands when press-
ing the buttons should be close enough.
Water and your PDM
The PDM is not waterproof. Do NOT place it in or near water.
Use the form at the end of this User Guide to write
down all your settings from the Setup Wizard. You
can also attach a copy of the CSII orders that you
used during your training session. If you ever need
to reset your PDM, having these settings handy will
make setup very easy.
These forms are also available on Insulet’s Web site,
