Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)

Communicating with the pump
Place the PPC near the Pump when the screen displays, “PPC COMMU-
NICATING.” The word "COMMUNICATING" will blink as indication of
succesfull communication. If a communication link between the PPC and
Pump is not established, a “TELEMETRY COMM ERROR 3” message
will appear. The PPC will beep six times once every minute until the
screen is acknowledged by pressing SEL and ACT. The screen will then
display “PPC COMMUNICATING” again.
After a communication is established between the PPC and Pump and
program information is successfully transferred to the Pump, the PPC will
beep once and return to the Time/Date screen.
Always press the PPC buttons slowly and firmly. Wait until the
screen changes before pressing the button again.
A flashing value on the screen means that the value is activated,
and can be changed by pressing the arrow buttons.
The PPC cannot be turned off. Once the battery has been
installed, the PPC is on and remains on until the battery is
removed.
Certain types of Radio Frequency (RF) generating equipment
could affect PPC communication with the Pump. If you are expe-
riencing communication difficulties, change locations.
The time and date settings must be correct to ensure appropriate
calculation of insulin delivery and display of daily totals and
activity history.
