Replacing batteries
The PDM uses two (2) AAA alkaline batteries. You can purchase
them at any grocery, hardware or convenience store.
On average, a pair of batteries powers the PDM for 3 weeks. The
battery life indicator on the PDM shows the battery power level.
See “Personal Diabetes Manager Icons” later in this Appendix for
the various battery power levels and their respective icons.
The PDM automatically alerts you when its battery power gets
low (see Figure A-2). When you see the “Low PDM battery” alert,
press
OK
to turn off the alert. Replace the batteries as soon as
you can.
AAA alkaline batteries are the required battery to
power the PDM. Do not use any other type of batter-
ies. Never use old or used batteries; the PDM may
not work properly. Using any kind of batteries other
than alkaline may reduce battery life and cause dam-
age to the PDM. Do no use rechargeable batteries.
