Alert A8: BOLUS CANCELLED will occur. Press f twice to confirm and turn off the alert. See the section “Alert A8: BOLUS CANCELLED” (page 153) for more information.

Programming a “Quick” Standard Bolus

The following process involves only the a and s keys. You can start with either key. The recommended steps below are those described with the first key appearing without parenthesis, such as a. For the alternative step press the key in the parenthesis, such as (s).

Note:

Because your pump beeps and vibrates to guide you safely through the programming, you may program the “Quick” STANDARD Bolus using one finger. After the bolus is programmed, you can count the beeps and vibrations of your pump to verify the correct programming.

The bolus increment for the “Quick” Standard Bolus is initially set to 0.5 units.
