To replace batteries
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the PDM by
pushing the compartment latch inward and then upward
(Figure A-3). No special tools are necessary.
2. Insert 2 new AAA alkaline batteries into the compartment.
3. Replace the battery door.
4. Turn the PDM face up. The PDM powers on automatically.
The PDM is now ready to use. Dispose of the old batteries in
accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
If the PDM becomes submerged in water
The PDM is not waterproof. Do not place it in water or leave it
near water where it can accidentally fall in. If it becomes sub-
merged in water:
1. Dry the outside of the PDM with a clean, lint-free cloth.
2. Open the battery compartment; remove the batteries and
discard them.
3. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to gently absorb any water in the
battery compartment.
4. Leave the battery compartment door open until the PDM is
thoroughly dry.
5. Do not put in fresh batteries or attempt to use the PDM until
it has thoroughly air-dried.
When your PDM alerts you that battery power is getting
low, the PDM will maximize remaining battery life by:
•
Turning off your vibration alert (if set)
•
Disabling bright mode
•
Disabling the test strip port light
Once the batteries are replaced, these functions resume.
If the batteries run out, data in the memory is at risk.
DO NOT remove the old batteries until you have
new ones at hand. The PDM protects data in the
memory for up to 2 hours after the batteries run out
or are removed.
The diagram inside the compartment shows you
which direction to insert the batteries.
Never use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Pod or
PDM. Extreme heat can damage the electronics.
