Device time zone
Ensure the time is correct on your Omnipod 5 app so that insulin is delivered at
the designated time. Your Omnipod 5 app automatically detects when you travel
to a dierent time zone and will prompt you to update the time on your controller
whenever a time change is detected. It is important to note that the
Omnipod 5 app will never automatically change the time zone without asking
you rst if you’d like to update. You can turn the automatic time zone detection
feature OFF on your Omnipod 5 app however, it is generally recommended that
you keep this feature ON.
