14.2 Auto-Off Alarm

Your t:slim Pump can stop insulin de-
livery and alert you (or whoever is with
you) if there has been no interaction
with the pump within a specified period
of time. The default for this alarm is
pre-set to 12 hours. You can set it any-
where between 5 and 24 hours, or off.
This alarm notifies you that there has
been no interaction with the pump in
the specified number of hours and the
pump will shut down after 30 seconds.
When the number of hours since you
have tapped on the screen or pressed
the Screen On/Quick Bolus Button
passes the set value, the Auto-Off
Alarm beeps and appears on the
screen, and insulin delivery stops.
