very simple and easy to use
device.
Three buttons control all
the programming:
• ‘S’: Suspends or
restarts your pump
• ‘B’: Allows you to set
an audio bolus
• ‘A’: activates your
programming choices.
The remote programmer
runs on a single A23
battery. The programmer
will go into ‘sleep mode’
when it is not being used
to help preserve battery
life.

“sleep mode”, green LED
will be off.
When the remote is
awake, the LED will
glow and flash very fast.
When the battery is low,
the LED will blink in a
series of 3 quick flashes
until the battery is
replaced.
