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.

!

Check the display of your insulin pump at least every three
hours during the day and before you go to sleep, especially
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.
