is chapter guides you through setting up your rst PDM or a replacement
PDM.
If you are setting up a replacement PDM, go to “Charge the battery” within the

Preparing for Your Training
If you are a rst-time Omnipod DASH™ System user, you need to meet with your
nurse/educator to set up your Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) and rst Pod.
If you have used an Omnipod® Insulin Management System in the past and are
upgrading to the Omnipod DASH™ System, review the training module before
setting up your new system.
To get a head start on learning about the Omnipod DASH™ System, review this
User Guide
, including the “Introduction” on page xi, “Your Omnipod DASH™
Insulin Management System” on page 1 and “Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod”
on page 125.
Warnings:
Do NOT use the Omnipod DASH™ System before you have been trained.
Inadequate training could put your health and safety at risk.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for initialising the PDM.
Improper setup could put your health and safety at risk.
Note: Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to quickly respond to a diabetes
emergency (see “Prepare forEmergencies” on page163).
