  Tonya DavisSep 3, 2025
  A 'User Switch detached' error means the Omni has detected that the User Switch has become disconnected. Check all cables and connectors between the Omni and the User Switch. If the error persists, the User Switch may be defective. If it is required to use the Omni without a User Switch being connected, then the parameter, Switch Detect, should be set to Off. If a User Switch is not used the responsibility for that decision lies with the healthcare professional.

  A 'SID Detached' error means the Omni has detected that the Specialty Input Device (SID) has become disconnected. Check all cables and connectors between the Omni and the SID. If the error persists, check that the setting of the parameter, 9-Way Detect, is appropriate for the SID that is being used. For example, if the SID has no detect-link, then this parameter should be set to Off. If the error persists, the Input Device may be defective.

What does 'Memory Error' mean on my Handicare PUMA 40 and how can I resolve it?
- W
  Wayne JacksonSep 3, 2025
  A 'Memory Error' is a non-specific memory error that could be caused by any of the modules within the system. Check all cables and connections and cycle the power. If the error persists and the system contains 3rd party Modules: Disconnect all the non PGDT modules and cycle the power. If this has cleared the error: Connect each 3rd party module in turn, cycling the power each time. If the error reappears after one of the power cycles then the last module to have been added to the system must be defective. If the error is still present, the PM may be defective.

  A 'DIME Error' indicates an identification conflict between two modules in the system. If a new module has been introduced: Disconnect the new module and cycle the power. If no error is present, connect the new module to the system and cycle the power. If the error reappears, the new module is the cause. If there have been no additions: Disconnect one module at a time and cycle the power.
