Check the alarms and vibration
To reassure yourself that your PDM and Pod's alarms and vibration functions are
working properly, you can test them as follows:
1. If you have an active Pod, you must suspend it first:
Home > Suspend
2. Go to:
Home > Settings > System setup > Diagnostics > Check alarms
3. Press
Select
and then press
OK
to initiate the alarm check.
4. Listen and feel: The PDM beeps three times and vibrates three times. Then, if
you are wearing a Pod, the Pod beeps several times and sounds the alarm tone
for several seconds.
Warning: If the PDM fails to beep, call Customer Care immediately. If an
activated Pod fails to beep, change the Pod immediately. Continuing to use the
Omnipod® System in these situations may put your health and safety at risk.
