Setting basal rate profiles in each delivery pattern
Each of the basal delivery patterns is a set of up to 48 basal rates, one for each
half-hour of the day.
1. Press SEL until the “BASAL RATE” screen is
displayed. A basal pattern is selected (for
example Pattern A). Press ACT.
2. A “SET RATE” and “1” is now displayed to the
right of the “A” indicating this programming will
set the 1
st
basal rate within the “A” profile. The
“0.2U/H” is now flashing, indicating the value
can be changed. Use the  and  arrow keys to
program a new value, for example, “0.4 U/H”,
and then press ACT.
NOTE: 00:00 indicates a start time of MIDNIGHT in 24hr.
display mode. 12:00am indicates a start time of
MIDNIGHT in 12hr. display mode.
3. The screen now displays “SET TIME”, with a
time of “00:30” or “12:30am” flashing (24 or 12
hour respectively) and a “2.” This screen allows
the second basal rate to be set. Enter a start time
for the 2
nd
basal rate within the “A” profile, for
example “04:30.” Press ACT. (Example: a second basal rate of 0.4U/H
starting at 04:30.)
4. This screen changes to “SET RATE” again,
indicating the 2
nd
basal rate can now be
programmed. Use the  and  arrow buttons to
enter a new rate, for example “0.2U/H”, and then
press ACT.
5. A “3” now appears on the screen with “SET
TIME.” Follow the same procedure previously
described and program a new profile. If no
additional profiles are needed change the
flashing time to dashes (by pressing ) and press
ACT.
