Once the diabetes manager and the pump have been paired, the pairing settings are stored in both devices so that you do not have to repeat this process. If radio connection between the diabetes manager and the micropump is stopped or interrupted, it will automatically be restored once the devices are within an appropriate range of each other. You can simply use the camera on the back of the diabetes manager and the pairing code on the pump base to pair the devices. If this is not possible, you can enter the pump key into the diabetes manager. If several micropumps are within the communication range of the diabetes manager, you must select the micropump serial number from a list that is displayed. Note Once a pump base is paired with a diabetes manager, it cannot be paired with a different diabetes manager. So if you are using a different diabetes manager than before, for example, a replacement device, it cannot be paired with the micropump that has been in operation so far. In this case, you must use a new pump base. 74 man_07866364001_A_en.indb 74 28.07.2017 12:16:20 Recommended Infusion Sites Hold the diabetes manager close to the micropump to establish the radio connection.
