What to Do After Any Water Contact
Put your pump into STOP mode. Disconnect the pump from your body before
inspecting it. Use a soft cloth to dry the outside of the pump. Check the battery
compartment and the cartridge compartment for water. If the battery compartment
or cartridge compartment are wet, turn your pump upside down to let the water
run out and let it air dry. Do not use warm air such as a hair dryer to dry the pump
as this could damage the pump’s electronics. Do not re-insert the battery or the
cartridge until the compartments are completely dry.
