checks. To make you aware of a condition that is outside normal pump activity or potentially serious condition, the

care of the alert or alarm condition. Alert or alarm conditions are easy to handle. They are not problems if you attend
to them promptly. Reminders are automatically displayed to remind you of a function that you have set or a condition
that exists. Alerts are triggered for a variety of reasons. They require you to confirm the alert by pressing and/or
taking action to address the alert. Alarms are triggered by several conditions. All require you to address the alarm by
