Warning:
Do
NOT
use any other battery including lithium, nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal
hydride (NiHM), carbon zinc (heavy duty), or rechargeable batteries. Using other types of batteries
may shorten the life of the battery, cause inappropriate low battery alert warnings, or fail to give
low battery alert warnings.
Helpful Information
Once the battery is installed correctly, you will hear a series of beeps and vibrations confirming that the pump’s
•
speakers and vibrating device are working properly.
Your battery will typically last at least four weeks. Battery life may be shortened if you select the vibrate setting
•
instead of the audio setting, or use the backlight frequently. The number of
alarm
s/alerts you receive will also
impact battery life.
Always
•
carry a spare battery with your pump supplies.
Remove the battery if you are storing your pump for prolonged periods of time.

Do
•
NOT remove an existing battery unless you are storing your pump for a long period of time. Removing the
battery for a long period of time could result in losing some settings and then having to reset them.
Do
•
NOT use a cold battery (e.g., one that has just been in your refrigerator or in your car in cold weather). If the
battery is cold, the pump may display a battery-related
alarm
as the pump may NOT be receiving full power. The
battery level display may be inaccurate.
Expended batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
