- You have 2 hours after you fill the Pod with insulin to do a successful prime (this happens when you tap on `Pair Pod` on the Omnipod screen)
111
+
- You have 1 hour after the prime completes to insert the cannula
112
+
113
+
If you exceed these time limits, the pod becomes useless.

!!! tip "What to do if the Pod becomes useless?"
168
+
- Be sure to [break the sound card connection](#what-do-you-do-to-stop-a-screaming-pod) before discarding the Pod - it will scream after 80 hours, if not sooner.
169
+
- Be sure to move the old Pod far away before attempting to pair a new Pod.
