2. Insert two (2) new AAA alkaline batteries into the
compartment.
The diagram inside the compartment shows you which
direction to insert the batteries (Figure 2-2).
Do not use any other type of batteries than AAA
alkaline batteries to power the PDM. Never use old or
used batteries; the PDM may not work properly.
3. Replace the battery door.
4. Turn the PDM face up. The PDM has begun to power on
auto matically.
The Setup Wizard
n
The first time you turn on the Personal Diabetes Manager, the
Setup Wizard comes on automatically. Although setup is easy
with the Wizard, if you are a first-time user, your healthcare
pro vider must guide you through the process. Setup takes only a
few minutes and is easy to do:
• Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to increase or decrease
a number, or to move up or down a list.
Initial settings are "---" [blank] for target blood glucose
value, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, correction factor,
and duration of insulin action.
