Can you manually turn off Omnipod to connect to sensor and turn it back on

The Insulet Omnipod 5 does not have a manual "turn off" function. However, switching between a Controller and a smartphone will reset the algorithm, causing it to lose learned data. If you need to deactivate a Pod, you can use the deactivation function, but this is primarily for shutting down insulin delivery and activating a new Pod.
