Set a Reminder to Vibrate
n
For certain reminders, you can choose vibration instead of beeps
or vibration followed by beeps, instead of only beeps. If you
activate it, the PDM will vibrate for:
• Blood Glucose reminders
• Missed Bolus reminders
• Custom reminders
• "No active Pod" reminders
The PDM cannot be set to vibrate for hazard or advisory
alarms.
To change the type of notification
1. Use the Up/Down Controller buttons to choose Settings,
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
n
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 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the Pod.
Water and your PDM
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.
