WARNING
When using the Car Power USB Adapter, the
charger must be connected to an isolated,
battery powered 12 Volt system, such as an
automobile. Connecting the DC vehicle adapter
charger to 12 Volt DC that is generated by a
power supply connected to alternating current
(AC) mains is prohibited.
To charge the pump using a USB port
on a Personal Computer (PC):
Ensure that the PC complies with
the IEC 60950-1 (or equivalent)
safety standard.
1. Plug the included USB cable into
your computer.
2. Plug the other end of the cable
into the micro USB port on the
pump.
NOTE
Before using a Mac or PC to charge the t:slim
Pump, it is recommended that a driver be
installed on the computer by downloading the
t:connect Uploader Software from our website
at www.tandemdiabetes.com. This will also
allow communication between the pump, the
PC, and the t:connect Application. Depending
on your computer, charging time will vary.
The pump will display a CONNECTION ERROR
ALERT message if it is not charging properly.
When you charge the t:slim Pump,
you will notice the following:
•
The screen illuminates
•
An audible alert
•
The LED (edge around the
Screen On/Quick Bolus Button)
blinks green
•
A vibrating alert
•
A charge symbol (lightning bolt) on

PRECAUTION
If any of these conditions fail to occur, do
NOT use the t:slim Pump, as this may be an
indication that the pump’s alarms, alerts, and
other built-in safety features are not working
properly. If the t:slim Pump is connected to
your body, disconnect the set from your body
and contact Tandem Diabetes Care Customer
Technical Support at 1-877-801-6901.
Charging Tips
Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. rec-
ommends periodically checking the
battery level indicator, charging the
pump for a short period of time every
day (10–15 minutes), and also avoiding
frequent full discharges.
NOTE
If the battery is fully discharged, the screen will
not power on immediately when connected to
a charging source. The LED around the Screen
On/Quick Bolus Button will blink green every 2
seconds until there is enough charge to power
on the touch screen.
