The mylife OmniPod System provides alarms to make you aware 

of serious or potentially serious conditions. When a condition 
occurs that requires your attention an Advisory Alarm or a 
Hazard Alarm will sound. Advisory alarms beep intermittently 
and inform you about a condition that requires your attention. 
Hazard alarms are continuous tones and occur when either the 
Pod or PDM is in a serious condition. During an alarm the PDM 
will display an on-screen message with instructions for taking 
care of the alarm condition. Be sure to respond to all alarms 
when they occur. 
Details on how to handle an Advisory or a Hazard Alarm are 
below:

Advisory alarms tell you about a condition that requires your 
attention. Each advisory alarm beeps intermittently. When you 
hear an advisory alarm, first turn on the PDM to display the 
Status screen. The PDM communicates with the Pod, if 
necessary, and the screen displays a message describing the 
alarm and how to resolve it. All advisory alarms are time sensitive 
and require a response. Some advisory alarms escalate to hazard 
alarms if you do not respond within a certain time period (as 
noted in the following table). 
Some advisory alarms are controlled by levels you set in the 
Settings screen. One example is the level at which the Low 
reservoir volume alarm sounds.

Hazard alarms occur either when the Pod is in a very serious con-
dition or something is wrong with the PDM. Hazard alarms are 
continuous tones and each has an on-screen message. Follow 
the instructions in the message to fix the alarm situation. For 
details, see the table on page 129.

Many alarms (such as Auto-off) will escalate and 
result in deactivation of the active Pod if ignored. Be 
sure to respond to all alarms when they occur.

Hazard alarms are continuous tones. If the alarm is NOT 
acknowledged immediately, the Pod periodically gener-
ates an intermittent alarm tone and then returns to the 
continuous tone.
