Instructions” for details.
To begin an infusion, with the pump in pause mode, press and release
the RUN/PAUSE button. The RUN/PAUSE button is located directly
below the pump display.
The first time an infusion is started after programming, or after
powering on, the pump will review the program settings (“RX”) when
either the RUN/PAUSE button or the BOLUS button is pressed. After
this review, the pump will return to pause mode.
Press and release the RUN/PAUSE button again to start the infusion.
The green run light (inside the BOLUS button) will start to blink, the
“ml” icon and the volume infused will appear in the pump display.
