Warnings And Cautions About Wearing; The Insulin Pump - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

Before you begin
➨
Change the battery in a dry environment. Tighten or loosen the
battery cover with the Accu-Chek Spirit battery key (sharp objects
could damage the insulin pump). Do not over-tighten. Over-tighten-
ing may cause damage to the battery cover and to the insulin pump
casing. The battery cover is correctly inserted and tightened when
the battery cover is even with the insulin pump casing.
➨
Do not use the insulin pump if the battery cover is not
correctly inserted. See the section 5.1 "Insert and change the
battery" for information on changing the battery and battery cover.
➨
Using AA batteries other than those supplied or recommended
by Roche Diagnostics may significantly reduce battery usage
time and void the warranty. They may leak and corrode the battery
contacts within your insulin pump.
➨
Always make sure that you remove the battery if your insulin
pump is not in use for a longer time period in order to preserve the
battery lifetime. Old or used batteries may cause a failure at the
insulin pump start-up.
➨
Change the battery only in a dry environment to prevent water
from entering the casing, and make sure that the seal is not worn
out or missing and that the battery is properly inserted.
