Battery Cap/Vent
This cap unscrews easily with a coin to replace and secure
your battery. There is an o-ring around the cap, which
prevents water from entering the pump. The battery cap
also is equipped with a built-in vent to allow air to enter
your pump to maintain pressurization but prevent water
from entering. Be careful not to over tighten the battery
cap. See Chapter 3 in Section I.
Primary Vent
This vent is part of the redundant vent safety system,
which allows air inside your pump to maintain equalized
pressure but prevents water from getting inside. It is
acceptable to place the pump under clothing, as this will not
block the vents.

WARNING: CHECK the battery cap vent and primary vent below the cartridge cap to make
sure they are not clogged whenever you replace the battery, cartridge or infusion set. DO NOT
use the pump if the vents are clogged. The vents allow air to flow in and out of the pump, and
have a membrane on the inside that helps keep your pump waterproof. Remove any debris from
the vents using your fingers and a soft cloth. DO NOT use a sharp object to clean the vents or
you may puncture the vents/membrane and compromise the waterproof feature of your pump.
Replace the battery cap if you are unable to remove the debris from the battery cap vent. See
Chapter 12 in Section I.
Cartridge Compartment Cap
This cap secures your cartridge and infusion set in your pump.
m
WARNING: NEVER tighten the cartridge cap when your infusion set is attached to your body.
Tightening the cartridge cap while your infusion set is attached to your body may disrupt the
flow of insulin through the tubing that is threaded through the cap.
