Note:
• If you manually update the time while the pump is in use, the timestamps in the event and delivery logs
are not updated to reflect daylight saving time prior to the change. All events record the reported pump
time from when the event actually occurred. For your reference, the event log records the time when it
was changed.
• If the pump is configured to adjust time automatically for daylight saving time, the time will update at
the configured time if the pump is in stop mode, or the first time it enters stop mode after the configured
time. When the pump clock is changed automatically due to daylight saving time, a message appears on
the pump to notify you.
The pump clock is powered by a separate, internal battery that retains the time and date even when the
4 AA batteries, the battery pack, or communication module is removed. The pump uses this feature to record
the time and date of events in the delivery and event logs. In addition, the date is used to determine when
preventive maintenance alarms occur.
Note:
• The internal battery is rechargeable and automatically recharges when the pump is powered on. If the
pump is off for a long period of time, it may not show the correct time and date when it is powered on.
Check the time and date, and edit these settings if necessary.
• Protocol information remains the same regardless of changing the time and/or date during a patient’s
therapy.

1. From the Home screen, select Tasks.
2. Press U or D to choose Set Time and Date and press S.

Depending on how your pump is configured by your PharmGuard® system
administrator, the pump either displays when daylight saving time
will change (if the pump is set to change for daylight saving time
automatically), or that the daylight saving time feature is disabled.
