What happens if I leave the pump battery out too long?
If you leave the pump battery out too long (more than five minutes) you may receive a BATT OUT LIMIT alarm
message when you install the new battery. Do the following steps:
1 Set your pump clock to the correct time, date, and year.
2 Check to make sure that all your settings, such as basal rate, are set as desired. If need be, reapply your
last saved settings to the pump by using the Restore Settings option under User Settings in the UTILITIES
MENU (you can only use this option if you have previously saved your pump settings). See the Restoring
the settings section in the Utilities chapter.
3 Check the ALARM HISTORY screen and the STATUS screen for any alarms and/or alerts that may still need
attention.
If you leave the battery out for more than three or four days, you may receive an A17 and A47 alarms when
you install a new battery. Do the following steps:
1 Clear the A17 and A47 alarms.
2 Set your pump clock to the correct time, date and year.
3 Check to make sure that all your settings, such as basal rate, are set as desired. If need be, reapply your
last saved settings to the pump by using the Restore Settings option under User Settings in the UTILITIES
MENU (you can only use this option if you have previously saved your pump settings). See the Restoring
the settings section in the Utilities chapter.
4 Check the ALARM HISTORY screen and the STATUS screen for any alarms and/or alerts.
Why doesn't my pump battery last very long?
A short battery life does not mean that something is wrong with your pump. Battery life in your pump is
variable and based on the conditions below:
• The brand of battery you use (we recommend Energizer).
• The storage and/or handling of the battery before use (avoid high or low temperatures).
• The usage of pump in cold temperatures; this may shorten the battery life.
• The usage of your pump, such as how often the buttons are pushed, the number of alerts/alarms and
set changes.
• The amount of insulin the pump is delivering.
• The usage of some features. The backlight, vibrate, sensor, remote control and meter options decrease
battery life.
