Additional options let you customize how the PDM operates:
ID screen: Make your PDM unique by adding your name and
choosing a color. The options you set will be shown on the ID
screen every time you turn on the PDM.
PDM lock: “Locks” the buttons on the PDM. The default setting is
Off . This safety feature can help avoid accidentally changing
basal rates or giving boluses.
Screen time-out: The screen turns off after a time interval that
you set, which occurs if you have not pressed any buttons on the
PDM. This setting preserves battery power by turning off the
screen when you are not using it. Set it at the lowest setting to
maximize battery life. The
ID screen must be confirmed before
you can check Pod status.
Backlight time-out: The backlight is on by default while you are
using the PDM. The time-out setting dims the backlight and
causes the screen to dim when you have not used it within the
time interval that you set. Set at the lowest setting to maximize
battery life.
