■ Set a Reminder to Vibrate
For certain reminders, you can choose vibration instead of beeps
or vibration followed by beeps, instead of only beeps. If you acti-
vate it, the PDM will vibrate for:
• Blood Glucose reminders
• Missed Bolus reminders
• Custom reminders
• “No active Pod” reminders
To change the type of notification
1. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to choose Set-
tings,then press Select.
2. Choose Vibration, 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, 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 Pod, hold the
PDM within 24'' (61 cm) of the Pod.
Water and your PDM
The PDM cannot be set to vibrate for hazard or advisory
alarms.
Do NOT use IV Prep wipes, alcohol swabs, soap,
detergent, or solvents to clean the screen or any
other part of the PDM. The PDM is NOT waterproof.
Do NOT immerse it or place it in or near water.
