Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod 11

PDM storage

When you are not using your PDM, store it in a convenient, nearby location that is
cool and dry.
If the PDM is not safe from children or others who may press the buttons by
accident, do not share your PDM' s PIN number with anyone. Also, store the PDM
in a safe place.
Long term storage of the PDM
If you are not going to use your PDM for an extended period of time,
allow your battery to reach approximately 50% charge. Then press and
hold the Power button to turn the PDM off, and remove the PDM battery
(see "Inserting or Replacing the PDM Battery" on page 131).
Caution: Be sure your PDM battery level icon is green before removing
the battery. Do not turn your PDM off for more than six months at a time.
Note: When you re-insert your battery into the PDM, you will need to reset date
and time, but your user settings will be retained.

PDM and the environment

Avoid extreme temperatures
Extreme operating temperatures can affect the PDM' s battery and interfere with
Omnipod DASH™ System operation. Avoid using the PDM in temperatures
below 5 °C (41°F) or above 40 °C (104 °F).
Caution: 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 PDM to
malfunction.
Water and your PDM
The PDM is not waterproof. Do not place it in water or leave it near water where
it can accidentally fall in. If it gets wet:
1. Dry the outside of the PDM with a clean, lint-free cloth.
2. Open the battery compartment, remove the battery and dry the battery
with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Note: For detailed instructions on removing and replacing the battery,
see "Inserting or Replacing the PDM Battery" on page 131.
3. Gently absorb any water in the battery compartment with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
Caution: Never use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the PDM. Extreme heat
can damage the electronics.
