H – Batteries
Recommended batteries
Always use a 9 volt alkaline battery. These batteries can easily be identified by the international
marking code 6LR61 (a recommended battery of this type is the Duracell Plus MN1604).
Suitable 9V Lithium batteries which extend operating time are available from your T34
distributor.
Fitting the Battery
To fit or change the battery slide the compartment cover at the back of the pump. Push the
battery into the compartment taking care to ensure that the + / - contacts are aligned as shown on
the label inside the compartment. Slide the cover back on.
Zinc-carbon batteries (marked 6F22 or 6R61 (for example a PP3) are not recommended for use
with the T34. These batteries perform poorly and need to be replaced more often.
Do not use
non-alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
There is some variation in size between different brands of batteries. Never try to force a battery
into the battery compartment as this may damage the battery contacts.
Incorrectly aligning the battery contacts will not cause any harm to the battery or the pump.
Remove the battery and re-align the contacts.
Battery Test
When setting up the pump always check that there is enough charge in the battery to cover the
infusion being set up. To do so follow this procedure: -
1. Switch the pump ON.
2. Press INFO key
3. Select BATTERY LIFE from the menu and press YES to confirm
4. Verify sufficient battery charge is available to complete the current program. If not, change
the battery.
WARNING
: Battery damage could occur at ambient temperatures >50C (122°F).
WARNING
: Do not store the pump for extended periods with the battery in the pump.
