Operating the Pump
POWER SOURCES
AA Batteries
To power the CADD
®
-Solis VIP pump,
it is recommended that four AA, 1.5 volt
non-rechargeable alkaline batteries
are used or the CADD
®
-Solis pump
rechargeable battery pack.
Note: Mixing new and used batteries
is not recommended because it may
affect low battery alarm times. Always
use four new batteries when replacing
depleted batteries.
The pump retains all programmed
values when the batteries are removed,
but the batteries must be in place
during delivery. If the batteries are
removed while the pump is delivering,
and an AC adapter is connected,
delivery stops. If an AC adapter is
not connected and the batteries are
removed, delivery stops and the pump
loses power.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter can be
used as an alternate
source of power for
the pump and/or
to recharge the
rechargeable battery
pack. The pump
requires AA batteries
or the rechargeable
battery pack to be installed as a backup
while using the AC adapter.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
The rechargeable battery
pack is an alternative to
using four AA batteries. The
rechargeable battery pack
can be recharged with the AC adapter,
either inside or outside of the pump.
Installing Batteries or a Battery Pack
