WARNING

if for any reason you are unable to hear the beeps or feel

 

the vibrations. This is the only way you will be notified of

 

changes in your insulin pump in a suitable amount of time.

Alarm Signals

Your pump gives alerts and errors using beeps and vibrations. You can turn off either the beep or the vibrations but for your safety you cannot turn off both at the same time for the initial alarm signal. See the sections “Alerts and Errors” (page 147), “Adjusting the Beep Volume” (page 116), and “Setting Up Alarm Signals” (page 117) for more information.

STOP-Warning

The STOP-Warning is turned on by the pump each time your pump switches from RUN mode to STOP mode, and when a battery is inserted. The STOP-Warning is a long beep and a vibration occurring every minute. This warns you that insulin delivery has been interrupted.

To Turn Off the STOP-Warning

Press either a or s for 3 seconds to turn off the STOP-Warning. A melody plays indicating the STOP-Warning is turned off.

Note:

The volume of the STOP-Warning cannot be changed. It is independent of the programmed beep volume.
