settings are retained. If this alarm repeats often, call the
Medtronic MiniMed 24-hour Product Help Line for assis-
tance.
Auto off

have been pressed during
the time limit you set for
the AUTO OFF DURATION
feature.
Batt out limit
Occurs if the battery has
been out of the pump for
more than five minutes. The
clock will reset to 12:00A,
01Jan02.
Bolus stopped
If this alarm should occur, it is
very important to check
bolus history to review how
much of the bolus was actu-
ally delivered. Reprogram a
bolus with the amount not
delivered, if required.
Button error
Occurs if a button has been
continually pressed for more
than 3 minutes.
Check settings
When this alarm is active, you
should check and/or repro-
gram your pump settings,
including the time/date.
E (Error)
After receiving this alarm,
note the error number then
call the Medtronic MiniMed
24-hour Product Help Line for
assistance. An error alarm will
show an “E” followed by two
numbers. E-alarms cause all insulin delivery to stop, the
pump resets, and all your settings are cleared.

voir. Change the reservoir
