I submerged my pump in water
Your pump is water tight but should not be deliberately submerged in water during bathing, swimming, or other
water activities.
1. Pat the outside of the case until dry.
2. Open the reservoir compartment and check the compartment and reservoir for water. If wet, dry it
completely within ten (10) minutes of exposure to water. Exposure to liquids, including water or insulin can
corrode the mechanism.
3. Dry the reservoir completely - do NOT place a wet reservoir in the pump.
4. Do not use hot air to dry your pump. This may damage your pump's internal electronics.
5. Check the battery compartment and the battery - if wet, let them dry completely before using the pump.
6. Perform a selftest.
Alarms
Your pump has a sophisticated network of safety checks and systems. If the safety network detects anything
unusual, your pump notifies you of conditions that require your immediate attention. The backlight will illuminate
the pump screen and the alarm/alert message will appear on the screen.
NOTE - The STATUS screen will show any alarms and alerts that are active.
➤ Why are alarms important?
Your pump monitors activities and will notify you if there is an unusual
pump status or your attention is required. When an attention alarm is
active, INSULIN DELIVERY IS STOPPED and immediate operator
interaction is required.
An alarm will gradually become higher in pitch until you turn it off. If the vibrate
mode is on, all alarms and alerts will start as vibrations then change to beeps.
For your safety, if there is no response after ten (10) minutes, the beeps will
change to a siren. The siren will continue every minute until the alarm is
cleared.
when solid circles appear,
follow the instructions
on the screen.
