About this manual
The first part of this manual (Important Information, About
the Pump, Using the Pump - Basics and Help) includes in-
formation on the basic operation and troubleshooting of the
pump. This includes inserting batteries, setting the time and
date, programming and using basal patterns, programming and
delivering a meal bolus, and loading an insulin cartridge into
the pump. For many pump users, these chapters contain the
information you will primarily be concerned with during your
basic training, and until you are more comfortable with your
pump and have received appropriate training on the other fea-
tures.
The second part of the manual (Using the Pump - More Fea-
tures, History & Communications) contains information on
programming and using the pump’s other features. In order to
program and use many of these features, a greater understand-
ing of diabetes therapy is required.
Technical Information contains pump specifications and de-
scriptions of the pump’s internal safety systems. You do not
need to be familiar with this information to use the pump.
Throughout the manual are areas for writing notes, as well as
for writing therapy information specific to you.
