Battery Cover

The battery cover seals the battery compartment. Change the battery cover
with at least every 4

battery change.

• Remove the battery cover only in a dry area to prevent water from

getting inside the pump.

• Make sure that the seal is not worn or missing and that the battery

is properly inserted into the pump.

• Tighten or loosen the battery cover using only the ACCU-CHEK Spirit

insulin pump battery key. Knives, screwdrivers, or other sharp objects
may harm your pump.

• Do not over-tighten the battery cover. The battery cover is correctly

inserted and tightened when it is even with the pump casing.

Always make sure that you remove the battery if your
insulin pump is not in use for a long time period in order
to preserve the battery lifetime. To prevent water from
entering the casing, change the battery only in a dry area.
Make sure that the seal of the battery cover is not worn
out or missing, and that the battery is properly inserted.

Note:

You must set the battery type to match the kind of battery you are
using. If you do not set the correct battery type on your pump, the
alert A2: BATTERY LOW may not give you enough time to replace your
battery. If you change from using regular batteries to rechargeable
batteries, or from rechargeable batteries to regular batteries, you must
change the battery type setting in the Standard setup menu (SETUP
MENU STANDARD).
