Changing Batteries
To replace depleted batteries with fully-charged batteries:
1 Explain procedure to patient.
2 Remove batteries and battery clips from the patient's holsters or carrying case.
3 Remove a set of fully-charged spare batteries from the patient’s travel case or
from the PBU.
4 Verify that the Velcro circles on the used batteries are black-side-up. If not, turn
them from white to black.
5 Remove only one battery from its battery clip by pressing the battery release
button (
Figure 26 , previous page).
An alarm will sound one beep per second, the green power symbol will flash
rapidly, and the four green battery fuel gauge lights will flash.
6 Align the arrow on the new battery and the arrow on the battery clip ( Figure
26 ; previous page).
7 Slide the new, fully-charged battery into the battery clip until it “clicks” into
place.
The alarm will stop and both the green power symbol and battery fuel
gauge lights will stop flashing. Wait until the power symbol and battery fuel gauge
lights stop flashing and the alarm stops sounding before continuing with Step 8.
8 Repeat steps 5 - 7 for the 2 nd battery/battery clip.
9 Check the Battery Fuel Gauge on the System Controller to ensure that the new
batteries are fully-charged.
10 Turn over the Velcro circles on the new, fully-charged batteries from white to
black, then place the new batteries and clips into the patient's holster or carry-
ing case.
11 Place depleted batteries into the PBU for recharging.

will cause the pump to stop. This could result in serious patient injury or death.
