Verifying temp basal delivery
Temporary basal information is available in

During a temporary (temp) basal, the
pump is in Special mode (open circles appear).
These open circles will remind you that a
temp basal is active. Additionally, your pump
will beep/vibrate three times every hour dur-
ing delivery. During delivery, the STATUS
screen will show the current temp basal
information.
Canceling a temp basal
Use the cancel temp basal function in the BASAL MENU to cancel a temporary basal. This function immedi-
ately stops the temp basal and resumes the regular programmed basal delivery. To cancel a temp basal, do these
steps:
1. Go to the BASAL MENU.
Main > Basal > Cancel Temp Basal
2. Select Cancel Temp Basal and press ACT to
accept.
The screen will return to the BASAL MENU. Your temp
basal is canceled and the programmed basal is now active again.
Exit the menus.
