V = Visual alarm
Y A/V The pump has detected
battery voltage below
acceptable levels and the
batteries are the primary
power source.
Note: The pump allows the
user to clear the LOW

is used, the rate is changed,
or the pump is powered-on
after a LOW BATTERIES
alarm and those same
batteries are still in the
pump, this interval may be
different.
