after a defined time period (from 1 to 24-hours). If the pump detects that no buttons have been pressed for the
selected amount of time, insulin delivery will stop. You may choose to program this feature into your pump based
on the numbers of hours that you usually sleep at night. Discuss what uses and settings are best for you with your
healthcare professional.

Main > Utilities > Alarm > Auto Off
2. Set the number of hours you want to set and press ACT.
NOTE - If you do not want to use the Auto Off feature, make sure the hour is set to zero (0).
3. The screen will return to the ALARM MENU. The Auto Off feature is now set. Exit the menus.
