2. Press Discard.
The PDM will consider the Pod lost and ask
whether you want to activate a new Pod.
■ Failure During Request for Status
If you turn on the PDM or press Status and the PDM cannot
communicate with the Pod, it displays a communication icon
(Figure 11-9). Below the icon is a soft key labeled Skip.
Either:
1. Wait until you see the “Pod status not available” screen
(Figure 11-10).
2. Press Skip to skip the communication process and immedi-
ately bring up Figure 11-10.
If you have an unconfirmed correction bolus when you
discard a Pod, then the bolus calculator will be temporar-
ily disabled. In this situation, the bolus calculator is dis-
abled until the duration-of-insulin-action period passes
(Figure 11-8). If you have any questions, call Customer
Care.
