Storage
If you do not plan to use your transmitter in the next 30 days, connect it to the charger for storage.
Using your system in water
Your pump must not be used in water and needs to be removed if planning water activities.
You should shower, bathe and swim with the transmitter and the sensor by following the guidelines
below:
1 Disconnect the infusion set from the pump and remove the pump. The pump is not water-tight.
2 After the transmitter and sensor are connected, they form a water-tight seal to a depth of 2.4 meters
(8 feet) for up to 30 minutes. You can shower and swim without removing them. Avoid taking hot baths
as this may significantly reduce the sensor's life.
