important to confirm that the infusion
set is inserted correctly and delivering
insulin. It is also important to respond
quickly to any problems with the inser-
tion to ensure continued insulin delivery.
ALWAYS check that your cartridge has
enough insulin to last through the night
before going to bed. If you are sleeping,
you could fail to hear the Empty Car-
tridge Alarm and miss part of your basal
insulin delivery.
CHECK your insulin pump's personal
settings regularly to ensure they are
correct. Incorrect settings can result in
over delivery or under delivery of insulin.
Consult with your healthcare provider
as needed.
ALWAYS make sure that the correct
time and date are set on your insulin
pump. When editing time, always check
that the AM/PM setting is accurate. AM
is to be used from midnight until 11:59
AM. PM is to be used from noon until
11:59 PM. Not having the correct time
and date setting may affect safe insulin
delivery.

Chapter 2 – Important Safety Information
CONFIRM that the screen display turns
on, you can hear audible beeps, feel the
pump vibrate, and see the green LED
light blinking around the edge of the
Screen On Button when you connect a
power source to the USB port. These
features are used to notify you about
alerts, alarms, and other conditions that
require your attention. If these features
are not working, discontinue use of the
pump and contact Tandem Diabetes
Care Customer Technical Support at
(877) 801-6901.
CHECK your pump regularly for poten-
tial alarm conditions that may display. It
is important to be aware of conditions
that may affect insulin delivery and
require your attention so you can
respond as soon as possible.
DO NOT use the vibrate feature for
alerts and alarms during sleep unless
otherwise directed by your healthcare
provider. Having the volume for alerts
and alarms set to high will help ensure
that you don't miss an alert or alarm.
ALWAYS look at the screen to confirm
correct programming of the bolus
amount when you first use the Quick
Bolus feature. Looking at the screen will
ensure that you are correctly using the
beep/vibration commands to program
the intended bolus amount.
DO NOT use your pump if you think it
might be damaged due to dropping it
or hitting it against a hard surface.
Check that the pump is working prop-
erly by plugging a power source into
the USB port and confirming that the
display turns on, you hear audible
beeps, feel the pump vibrate, and see
the green LED light blinking around the
edge of the Screen On Button. If you
are unsure about potential damage,
discontinue use of the System and con-
tact Tandem Diabetes Care Customer
Technical Support at (877) 801-6901.
AVOID exposure of your pump to tem-
peratures below 40°F (5°C) or above
99°F (37°C). Insulin can freeze at low
temperatures or degrade at high tem-
peratures. Insulin that has been
exposed to conditions outside of the
manufacturer's recommended ranges
can affect the safety and performance
of the pump.
