Install battery
CAUTION: Do not use a rechargeable or carbon zinc battery in your pump. For best results use a new Energizer
AAA alkaline battery, size E92, type LR03.
Medtronic Diabetes designed the pump to only accept a NEW battery. As a safety measure, if you install a battery
that does not have full power, the WEAK BATTERY or FAILED BATT TEST alarm may sound. If you receive a WEAK
BATTERY alarm, respond to the alarm and continue. The pump will still operate normally, but with a decreased
battery life. The pump uses one AAA alkaline battery.
1
Make sure all the following apply:
Clear (ESC, ACT) any alarms and/or alerts before removing and replacing the battery
Make sure the pump is at the HOME (idle) screen when you remove the battery.
Do NOT remove the battery during a bolus or prime delivery.
2
Use the edge of a coin to remove the battery cap. Turn the cap in a counter-clockwise direction.
3
Remove the old battery and dispose of it per the
disposable requirements of your state or country.
Put the new battery in the pump with the negative
end [(-) symbol] going in first. Check the label on
the back of the pump to make sure the battery is
inserted correctly.
NOTE: Do not use batteries that have been in
cold storage (i.e., in the refrigerator or your car in the winter).
4
Place the battery cap in the pump and tighten so the slot
is aligned horizontally with the pump as shown here:
CAUTION: Do NOT over-tighten the battery cap. You
should not turn the cap more than four half turns. If you
over-tighten the cap you may not be able to remove it,
and you can damage your pump.
