Your basal settings
You must program your basal settings before you can deliver basal insulin. Keep a written record of
your basal settings.
It is recommended that you set your basal rates with the assistance of your healthcare professional.
If you plan to take off your pump for an extended period of time, i.e. more than a day, set the basal
rate to 0.00 U/H. This will ensure that the insulin delivery records in your pump are accurate. See “If
you remove your pump” on page 21 for more information.
Basal programming and delivery
To set your basal rates, do these steps:
NOTE - You cannot make changes to your
basal rate settings while a percent (%)
temp basal is active.
1Go to the BASAL MENU.
Main > Basal
2Select Set/Edit Basal and press ACT.
3The SET BASAL RATE 1 screen will
appear. Enter your first basal rate amount and
press ACT.
4The start time for your first basal rate is midnight
(12:00A) and cannot be changed.
5The screen will change to SET START TIME 2. If
you only need one basal rate for the entire 24-
hour day (12:00A to 12:00A), do these steps:
a. Press ACT or ESC without setting a start
time.
b. The BASAL RATE screen will appear with
your basal data. Your daily basal rate is
now programmed. It will deliver daily from
12:00A to 12:00A.
c. Exit the menus.
(If using patterns, you will
first select the basal you
want, then the SET BASAL
RATE 1 screen will appear.)
