Get the Most from Your Remote
Keep it handy
Wireless communication technology means you don’t have to
keep the remote right next to the pump for the pump to work.
Once you set your basal rate, the pump continues to deliver
insulin at that rate until you decide to change it or until you
give yourself a bolus dose. Meanwhile, since the remote is
small, lightweight, and is not attached to the pump, you can
store it conveniently inside an article of clothing (like a shirt
pocket) or put it discreetly into a drawer, briefcase, or purse.
Communicating with the pump
When you enter or change programs, hold the remote within
12” (30.5cm) of the pump. If you wear the pump on your
abdomen, holding the remote in your hands when pressing the
buttons should be close enough.
Water and your remote
The remote is not waterproof. Do NOT place it in or near water.
Avoid extreme temperatures
Extreme operating temperatures can affect remote batteries
and interfere with system operation. Avoid using the remote in
temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
Do NOT store or leave the remote where it may be exposed to
extreme temperatures, such as inside a car. Extreme heat
or cold can cause the device to malfunction.
Electrical interference
The remote is designed to withstand normal radio interference
and electromagnetic fields. However, as with all wireless
communication technology, certain operating conditions can
interrupt communication. For example, electric appliances
such as microwave ovens and electric machinery located in
manufacturing environments may cause interference. In most
cases, interruptions are easy to resolve (see Chapter 10,
Troubleshooting Communication Failures).
