damage. You can use one of our special carrying systems that
enable you to carry your pump on or under your clothes. Wear
your pump under your clothes or directly on your body to protect
it from hot, cold or wet weather.

When wearing your pump, prevent any contact with objects that
could damage it or accidentally press its keys (e.g. key chains,
keys, pocket knives or coins).
