If you press rewind by mistake
Your pump arrives from the factory in training mode so you can program your pump and
practice without inserting a reservoir. The first “Rewind” cancels training mode.
Rewind is part of the process that takes place with every infusion set change. You will learn
about this in Chapter 4, “Starting on insulin” and at your pump training.
If you press “Rewind” by mistake, do NOT insert the reservoir in your pump. Insert the red
shipping cap into your pump and follow the prompts. Your settings will be retained. Refer to
step 3, page 39 in the section “Rewinding you pump” for detailed instructions.
Remember,
do NOT use a reservoir with insulin until you have been
instructed to do so by your healthcare professional.
