Pair the PDM and Pod
To pair the PDM and Pod (screen step ):
1. Place the PDM next to the Pod so they are
touching. e Pod should be in its plastic tray
during this process.
2. Tap NEXT.
• If more than one lled DASH Pod is
in range, the PDM informs you of this.
Move at least ve feet (1.5 m) away from
any other DASH Pod and tap TRY AGAIN.
• If only one Pod is in range, the Omnipod
DASH™ System performs a series of safety checks and primes the Pod.
3. Listen for the tone from the PDM that indicates that the Pod is paired to the
PDM and is ready to be applied.
Note: Aer pairing, the PDM should always be able to communicate with a Pod
that is up to 5 feet (1.5 m) away. Depending on the location, the PDM may be able
to communicate with a Pod that is as much as 50 feet (15 meters) away.
Note: Aer pairing, the Pod beeps every 5 minutes until you apply it. If you do not
apply it within 60 minutes aer pairing, the Pod becomes unusable.
If you see a communication error message when you attempt to pair your Pod, see
"Communication Errors" on page 132.
