Programming a pattern
Your pump will keep your pattern settings even when the Patterns option is turned off. However, the patterns
feature must be on to program a basal pattern.

Main > Basal > Set/Edit Basal

The SET BASAL RATE 1 screen appears. The basal rate flashes, indicating that it can be changed. Set your first
rate, then press ACT.
The start time for your first basal rate is midnight and cannot be changed.

ಘ
The SET START TIME 2 screen appears. The dashes under the screen name flash. The first basal rate is now set.
If you want to use the same rate for the whole day, press ESC and skip to step 10. If you want to program

After you press ESC, the BASAL RATE screen appears. The screen will show:
• the current basal pattern and basal rate,
• time it started, and
• the 24-hour basal total.
After you make changes to a pattern, the pump will use that pattern as the current basal. Make sure the basal
you want is selected in the SELECT PATTERNS screen.
