Pump Components, Ports, and Connectors
Indicator Lights
When the pump is powered, one or both of the indicator lights flash.
Green:
The green light flashes to indicate that the pump is running and delivering fluid as
programmed.
Amber:
The amber light flashes when the pump is stopped, an alarm condition exists, or the battery or
the reservoir volume is low. It stays on continuously when the pump is inoperable. The display briefly
describes the alarm condition when the amber light is flashing.
NOTE:
At times both lights may flash. This indicates that the pump is running, but there is a condition
that needs attention (for example, low battery or low reservoir volume).
Display with Backlighting
The liquid crystal display (LCD) shows programming information and messages. Backlighting helps keep
the display visible in low light. In this manual, “display” is synonymous with display panel or LCD.
After a period of time in which no keys are pressed, the backlighting turns off and the display goes blank
to save battery power (except during an alarm or when the AC adapter is in use). To turn the display back
on, press any key except the PCA dose key when in PCA mode.
NOTE:
•
When the display is blank, you can determine that the pump is powered by observing either the green
or amber (or both) indicator lights periodically flashing.
•
If you press stop/start
9
, the display reappears with a message asking if you wish to start or stop the
pump.

If you press PCA dose
@
while the pump screen is blank, the pump delivers a PCA dose, if that
option is available.
Keypad
The keys on the keypad are described below. A key beeps when pressed if it is operable in the current state
of the pump. However, the keys do not beep if the key beep function has been turned off in the protocol or
the administrator settings.
Starts and stops pump delivery.
Referred to as “soft keys.” Allow you to answer a question on the pump’s display. For example, the
screen above this key may display “Yes,” in which case pressing this key gives the question displayed
on the screen an answer of “Yes.” Also allows you to navigate through some of the pump screens (for
example, canceling an action, or backing out of an open screen).

Used to select a menu item.
Allows the patient to request a PCA dose if the remote dose cord is not connected, and if the PCA dose
option is available. If the remote dose cord is connected, this key is inactive.
