Battery Low

These Battery Low warning and alarm will 
only be activated when the pump is operating 
from just the battery (the mains power is 
disconnected).

When any of these Battery Low warning or 
alarm screens are activated, connect the 
pump to the mains power supply to 
recharge the battery and continue therapy.

If the pump is in Standby:
• The warning will be activated when the 

remaining charge in the battery is less than 
15%. Screen A alternates with screen B. 
Therapy can 

not

 be started. There is an 

audible tone when the Start button is 
pressed. Pressing Mute will silence the 
audible tone.
Connect the mains power supply to the 
pump to clear the warning and start 
therapy.

If the pump is in the Run state:
• The warning will be activated when the 

remaining charge in the battery is less than 
15%. There is an audible tone and screen 
C alternates with screen D. Therapy can 
continue. Pressing Mute will silence the 
audible tone.
Connect the mains power supply to the 
pump to clear the warning and continue 
therapy.

• When the remaining charge is less than 

10%, the full alarm is activated. Screen E 
alternates with screen F. Therapy is 
suspended and the alarm tone can not be 
muted.
Connect the mains power supply to the 
pump to clear the alarm and restart 
therapy.
