1. Choose a bolus increment (how much each press of the 

Up/Down Controller buttons will increase or decrease a 
bolus amount)—either 0.05, 0.10, 0.50, or 1.00 unit of insu-
lin—then press Next.

2. Choose the maximum bolus you can give at one time, then 

press Next.

1. To set the units for an extended bolus dose, choose % for per-

cent of the total bolus, or choose Units for units of insulin. To 
turn off the extended bolus feature, choose Off. Then press 
Next.

1. Choose the level of insulin in the reservoir at which the 

PDM should give you an alarm. Choose from 10 to 50 units 
in 5-unit increments, then press Next.

1. Choose the number of hours before a Pod expires when the 

PDM should give you a notification, then press Next. The 
values are in 1-hour increments and range from 1 to 24 hours. 
(The default is 4 hours.)

The PDM asks whether you want to activate a Pod.

•

Press Yes if you are ready to activate a new Pod. See Chapter 
5, Using the Pod, to learn how to activate a new Pod.

•

Press No if you do not want to activate a Pod at this time. The 
PDM displays the Home screen.

The duration-of-insulin-action setting is used to 

calculate the amount of insulin on board (IOB) from a 
previous correction bolus or meal bolus when you 
use the suggested bolus calculator.

The maximum bolus default is 10 units. Check with 

your healthcare provider before adjusting these set-
tings.

You can press and hold the Power button to turn off the 

PDM at any time during setup. Otherwise, it turns off 
automatically after 5 minutes. If you do not complete the 
entire setup within 60 minutes, when you turn on the 
PDM again you will return to the beginning of the Setup 

Wizard.
