Possible Solution
A continuous two-tone alarm is
sounding, and the amber light is
lit or flashing.
Delivery has stopped. Read the message on the display and
refer to the list of messages in the table below. If the display is
blank or contains random characters, the 4 AA batteries or the
rechargeable battery pack may be depleted. Install 4 new AA
batteries or a rechargeable battery pack.
The pump is sounding 2 beeps
every 2 seconds, and the amber
light is flashing.
Look at the message on the display and refer to the list of
messages in the table below.
Three beeps sound every 5 minutes.
This is a reminder that the pump is stopped.
After installing 4 new AA batteries
and powering up the pump, no
screen appears and no beep sounds.
The batteries may be installed incorrectly. Review the
procedure for installing batteries. Be sure to match the polarity
(+ and –) markings inside the battery door with the markings
on the batteries. If there is still no power, the batteries may be
completely depleted.
