Pump maintenance

It is recommended that you read your warranty statement included with your pump for information about what is
covered during your warranty period.
Battery
The Paradigm pump uses a single 1.5 V AAA alkaline battery, size E92, type LR03. As a safety measure, Medtronic
Diabetes has designed the pump to only accept a NEW battery. If you insert a used battery, the FAILED BATT
TEST alarm may be triggered. Refer to the Install battery in The basics chapter for instructions.
The use of cold batteries causes erratic pump behavior. To prevent this, do not use batteries that have been in cold
storage (i.e., in the refrigerator or your car in the winter). It takes several hours for these batteries to warm to
room temperature.
Certain features on the pump use a lot of battery power. Your battery will need to be replaced more frequently if
you use these features:
• Remote control
• Meter
• Backlight
• Vibrate alert type setting
CAUTION: It is recommended that you use a AAA Energizer battery. Do not use a rechargeable or carbon zinc
battery in the pump. Do not remove the battery unless you are changing your battery (installing a NEW battery).
Replace it within five minutes. If not replaced within five minutes, the screen may display an alarm message.
Follow the instructions in the message and make sure the time and date are set correctly. Check that the
battery is inserted correctly. If the battery has been installed backwards, remove the battery and install it
properly.
