Get the Most from Your PDM
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 152 cm (60'') of the Pod.
Water and your PDM
Avoid extreme temperatures
Extreme operating temperatures can damage PDM batteries 
and interfere with System operation. Avoid using the PDM in 
temperatures below 4.4°C (40°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
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. 
Do not store or leave the PDM where it may be 
exposed to extreme temperatures, such as inside a 
car. Extreme heat or cold can cause the device to 
malfunction.
Never attempt to test your blood glucose while your 
PDM is connected via USB cable to a computer. 
Doing so could result in electrical shock.
