Installing the battery the first time
The Paradigm pump uses a AAA alkaline battery. As a safety mea- sure, Medtronic MiniMed has designed the pump to only accept a NEW battery. The pump is very particular, if you insert a used bat- tery, an alarm will be triggered.
If your batteries have been in a cold place, (i.e., your car in the winter), allow the battery to warm to room temperature (up to 30 minutes) before inserting into the pump.
CAUTION: It is highly recommended that you use an AAA alkaline Energizer battery. Do not use a carbon zinc battery in the pump.
1. Use the edge of a coin and unscrew the bat- tery cap in a counter- clockwise manner.

into the battery compartment first. Check the label on the back of the pump to make sure you are inserting the battery cor- rectly.
2.Replace the battery cap by inserting the cap into the pump, turning it clockwise until it is fully closed.
