■ Manual Shut-off of a Hazard Alarm
If you respond to a hazard alarm but the PDM cannot communi-
cate with the Pod to acknowledge or shut off the alarm, you can
shut off the alarm manually.
1. Remove the Pod from your body if you have not already
done so.
2. Press the end of a paper clip or similar item straight down into
the manual alarm shut-off port (Figure 10-2) on the bottom
of the Pod. The port can be found by peeling back the adhe-
sive pad from the bottom of the Pod at the square end. The
alarm shut-off port is to the right of the fill port.
3. Press the paper clip straight down into the manual alarm shut
off port until the alarm stops and can no longer be heard.
Then discard the Pod according to local waste disposal regu-
lations.
