Materials
Your companion with the battery charged and initial settings programmed
•
Your pump with the battery installed and initial settings programmed.
•
Your personalized Table of Settings recommended by your healthcare professional in
•
Section 12 - Appendix A.
Helpful Information
Your healthcare professional will need to help you determine your individual settings. Refer to
•
Section 12 for
more information on why and how you would use these optional settings.
Locking the basal, bolus, and prime options should be considered if a caregiver is responsible for operating the
•
pump when the user is a child, elderly, or other person with a limited understanding of the pump use and func-
tions.
If you choose to turn the Magnify option to
•
On, then in some cases, the full text does NOT fit on the screen, so it
will require more scrolling to view the entire message. The behavior of each screen will vary, for example, when
you are programming, only the option name will appear, and you will need to scroll further to view the option
choices; in the basal or bolus calculator screens, you may see only the time block, and you will need to scroll
further to get to the next programming choice.
It is recommended that you practice using the Magnify
•
On vs. Magnify Off, and scroll through the screens so you
can become familiar with how the screen will appear using either option.
