•
The wireless communication signal used to inquire and program the Programmable Pump (referred to as telemetry) can travel about 2 inches (5
cm). If the Patient Therapy Controller is not positioned closely enough to the pump or is not oriented correctly over the pump, the Patient
Therapy Controller may not be able to initialize a connection with the pump.
•
Do not disassemble the Patient Therapy Controller. Disassembling the Patient Therapy Controller may damage it or cause it to malfunction.
•
Certain electronic equipment may cause interference with the Patient Therapy Controller. Interference may also occur near equipment marked
with the symbol shown below. Move away from the suspected source of interference. Examples of equipment that may cause interference
include cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors and large electric motors.
•
Prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the Programmable Pump and Patient Therapy Controller.
