Battery Type
Your pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery longevity with an Energizer
Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V). Use of other lithium batteries may affect the Low Battery and Replace
Battery alarm notifications. Check to be sure you have the correct lithium battery type before inserting
the battery.
m
CAUTION:
• You can safely power your pump with a conventional AA alkaline battery (1.5V), but battery life
is significantly reduced and the Low Battery and Replace Battery alarm notifications may be
affected.
• MAKE SURE to select the correct Battery Type on the Verify screen when you change the
battery. This will ensure accuracy of the Low and Replace Battery Warnings.
If you must use an AA alkaline battery, the following is recommended:
• Energizer E91

WARNING:
• DO NOT use rechargeable batteries or Carbon-Zinc batteries with your pump. They do not have
the necessary characteristics to power your pump, and can damage the pump and/or result
in over delivery or under delivery of insulin. Use of rechargeable or Carbon-Zinc batteries may
void the pump warranty and can damage the device.
• DO NOT use AA batteries with voltages higher than 1.5V with your pump. Use of any battery
other than 1.5V can damage your pump.
NOTE: Your pump uses battery power to notify you of alerts, warnings, and alarms. If you do not
confirm the notification, your pump will continue to use battery power as the notifications repeat
and progress. This will result in reduced battery life and the Replace Battery Alarm screen appearing
sooner than expected.
