• To tighten or loosen the PowerPack, use only the battery tool supplied
with your Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump (never use knives, coins,
screwdrivers and the like). The PowerPack is correctly inserted and tight-
ened when the position of the slot is parallel to the cartridge compart-
ment (bayonet lock).
Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening may cause damage to the battery
cover and to the pump casing.
• Do not use a PowerPack that has been dropped.
• Use only original PowerPacks for the Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin
pump. Using PowerPacks other than those supplied or recommended
may significantly reduce the service life of the PowerPack and may lead
to leakage and corrosion of the PowerPack contacts within your insulin
pump. The use of PowerPacks not supplied or recommended may void
the warranty.
The service life of the PowerPack is affected by usage of your insulin pump, delivery
rates, temperature and other factors. A PowerPack should last approximately 6 to 8
weeks.
Sun, UV radiation and heat
Caution: Do not place your insulin pump in direct sunlight. Overheating
of the insulin and your insulin pump must be avoided. Protect your insulin
pump from direct exposure to cold wind.
Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) and below 5°C (41°F) may damage the
insulin. Please refer to the instructions for use of the insulin you are using
for information on the admissible temperature range for the insulin. For
further information on temperatures please refer to section 11 “Technical
data”.
In cold weather wear your insulin pump under your clothes or directly on
your body.
Only use your insulin pump within its operating tem-
perature range. Avoid a rapid major increase of temperature, because
this may lead to malfunction.

Cold
Caution: Use of your insulin pump at temperatures under 5°C (41°F) may
cause a malfunction of the PowerPack and lead to a premature “Alert A2:
Low PowerPack Warning”or an “Error E2: PowerPack Depleted”. Wear your
insulin pump under your clothes or directly on your body in cold weather.
Only use your insulin pump within its operating temperature
range.
Avoid a rapid major decrease of temperature, because this may
lead to malfunction.
Variation of air pressure
Caution: The PowerPack has a built-in membrane to ensure pressure
equalization within your insulin pump. Variations of air pressure, for ex-
ample in an airplane or when mountain climbing, do not affect your insulin
pump or the insulin delivery.
Only use your insulin pump within its
operating range.
Turn off the beeps (special function)
Caution: Your insulin pump allows you to turn off warning beeps, confir-
mation beeps and beeps when keys are pressed. The beeps caused by an
alert or error
can not be turned off. The vibrations can not be turned off.
Check the display of your insulin pump at least every three hours during
the day and before you go to sleep, especially if for any reason you might
be unable to hear the beeps or feel the vibrations. This is the only way you
will be aware of any changes in your insulin pump in a timely manner.
