CAUTION
Use of batteries other than those recommended may signifi-
cantly reduce battery usage time. Such batteries may also
leak and corrode the battery contacts in your pump. They
could also lead to an electronic short circuit resulting in
dangerous heat development. The use of batteries not
supplied or recommended by Roche may void the warranty.
Before inserting rechargeable batteries make sure that they
are not damaged (e.g. damaged plastics isolation coating) or
leaking as damaged or leaking batteries could damage your
pump.
Note Always remember to remove the battery if your
Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is not going to be
used for a long period, in order to conserve the battery.
Battery cover
The battery cover seals the battery compartment, and must be
changed at least every 2 months. You must remove and replace
the battery cover using the battery key – do not use knives,
screwdrivers or other sharp objects, as these may damage your
pump.
Battery key
The battery key tightens and loosens the battery cover. It is also
designed to loosen the luer-lock connection between the infusion
set and adapter if it cannot be loosened by hand, by using the
notch on the side. However, never use the battery key to attach
or tighten an infusion set. Using the battery key prevents
possible damage to the battery cover.
If you lose the battery key, or if it becomes cracked or worn, order
a replacement immediately, rather than using makeshift tools.
