14.1. Switching from Manual Mode to Automated Mode
Before you begin
First, ensure you have an active Pod
and connected CGM. See "Chapter 5:
Activating and Changing Your Pod" on
page 59 and "Chapter 12: Connecting
CGM to the Pod" on page 123.
Do the following, if necessary:
• Cancel your temp basal or extended
bolus, if either are running. See "7.3.
Canceling a Temp Basal or Temp
Basal Preset" on page 85 or "8.9.
Canceling a Bolus in Progress" on
page 99.
• Start insulin, if it is paused. See
"11.2. Starting Insulin Delivery" on
page 119.
To switch to Automated Mode
To switch from Manual Mode to
Automated Mode:
1. From the Home screen, tap Menu
icon (
) > Switch Mode.
Note: If the screen displays a red
circle with an exclamation point

is disabled (grayed out), take the corrective action described on the screen

Warning: e Omnipod 5 System relies on accurate, current CGM values
to determine your insulin needs. Despite using an automated insulin
delivery system, you should always be aware of your current CGM value
because severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia may still occur. If your
CGM readings do not match your symptoms or expectations, use a BG
meter to perform a ngerstick check to make appropriate diabetes treatment
decisions.
