If you drop the PDM
The PDM is built to withstand reasonable amounts of abuse, but
shock or a severe impact can damage it. If you drop the PDM or if
it is otherwise subjected to severe impact:
1. Inspect the outside of the PDM for visible signs of damage.
2. Press and hold the Power button to see whether the PDM
turns on and whether the LCD screen is damaged.
3. Inspect the inside of the battery compartment for visible
signs of damage.
4. Do NOT use the PDM if it appears damaged or is not working
as it should.
If you are unable to use your PDM to check your BG, have a back
up meter on hand to check your BG.

instructions for use and expiration date.
