Battery Cover - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

Note Many types of batteries on the market are not designed to
provide adequate power for your insulin pump. To ensure
that the battery lasts as long as possible, be sure to use
alkaline batteries with a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh or
NiMH (rechargeable) batteries with a minimum capacity of
1500 mAh.
Alkaline batteries supplied by Roche Diagnostics are the
correct batteries for providing a maximum battery life. The
operating temperature of the battery must be between +5 °C
and +40°C (+41°F and +104°F). The lifetime of the battery is
affected by usage of your insulin pump, your personal
settings, delivery rates, temperature and other factors.

4.4 Battery cover

The battery cover forms an efficient seal for the battery compartment of
your insulin pump. The battery cover should be replaced with at least
every 4 th battery change.
• Change the battery in a dry environment to prevent water from
entering the casing.
• Make sure that the seal is not worn out or missing and that the
battery is properly inserted into your insulin pump.
• Tighten or loosen the battery cover only with the Accu-Chek Spirit
battery key (using knives, screwdrivers or other sharp objects
may harm your insulin pump).
• Do not over-tighten as this may cause damage to the battery
cover and to the casing. The battery cover is correctly inserted
and tightened when the battery cover is even with the casing.
