Data Entry
This section explains how to enter numbers or text into the PDM. Refer back to
this section as needed while you are learning to use your PDM.
Entering numbers
Use the
Up/Down
button to increase or decrease a number.
Initial settings for numerical values are often “---.” Press the
Up/Down
button
once, either up or down, to display the default value. Continue to press the Up
button or the
Down
button to increase or decrease the number.
Entering text
During setup, you will enter a username for your PDM's
ID
screen and,
optionally, a name for your first Basal Program. Later on, you can add names for
other settings or edit existing names.
To enter text:
1. Use the
Up/Down
button to scroll through the alphabet and other characters.
A blank character or space precedes the "a" and follows the "Z" of the alphabet.
Numbers and a few other characters, such as - and @, are found following the
alphabet and the space character.
2. Press the middle soft key (labeled with the right arrow) to move the
underscore to the next character.
3. Enter each character one at a time. An up-and-down-arrow symbol on the
screen indicates the character you are currently changing.
For example, to enter a username of "MKC 2-5-10", use the Up/Down button and
the middle soft key to enter M. K. C, [space], 2, -, 5, -, 1, 0.
The PDM considers capital and lowercase letters to be the same. In other words,
the PDM considers "myFavoriteFood" and "myfavoritefood" to be the same name,
and it will not allow you to use both of them as the name of two different presets.
Note:
Many settings provide a default naming system consisting of a generic
description of the item being named followed by a number. Each subsequent item
ends with the next higher number. For example, the default naming system for
custom reminders is reminder 1, reminder 2, reminder 3, and reminder 4.
