O
I “ symbol
and hold down until the Welcome screen appears (25a).

You may want to wait 5 to 10 minutes before turning it on,
allowing easypod to adjust to room temperature.
2. Press the Start button. easypod will check the cartridge to determine
whether it contains enough medication for your full-dose injection:
• If the cartridge does not contain enough
medication for your full-dose injection, or needs
to be manually removed, the display will read
“Cartridge empty. Change cartridge” (25b),
(see “Partial dose”, page 30);
• If there is enough medication in the cartridge for a
full dose, the display will read “Insert new needle”.
Note: easypod will display a reminder “Injection
completed today. Continue?” if you try to inject
within 12 hours of your previous injection (25c).
Select “Yes” if you wish to continue.
Note: easypod will beep every 30 seconds for
three minutes if an injection is not completed,
and it will turn off automatically after 10 minutes.

instructions given by your healthcare provider (25d).
