What to Do After Any Water Contact

Put your pump into STOP mode. Disconnect the pump from your body before inspecting it. Use a soft cloth to dry the outside of the pump. Check the battery compartment and the cartridge compartment for water. If the battery compartment or cartridge compartment are wet, turn your pump upside down to let the water run out and let it air dry. Do not use warm air such as a hair dryer to dry the pump as this could damage the pump’s electronics. Do not re-insert the battery or the cartridge until the compartments are completely dry.
