PPC
The PPC is an electronic device, and can be damaged if dropped. Do not
get the PPC wet or take it into very hot or humid environments, such as
steam baths or saunas. If the PPC is damaged, check the displays for
proper operation by performing a SELF TEST.IftheSELF TEST
finds a problem, you will need to replace your PPC. For more information
on the SELF TEST procedure, see Chapter 6, Warnings and Precau-
tions.
Maximum dosages
Your doctor may program specific limits for your Basal Rate and Meal
Bolus. These maximum limits provide a regimen specific to your needs.
Battery change
Carry a fresh AA 1.5-volt alkaline battery with you at all times. The esti-
mated PPC main battery life is approximately 8 weeks, although this can
be influenced by how often you program your Pump. If the Low Battery
message appears, change the battery as soon as possible, preferably
immediately. If the Depleted Battery Alarm occurs, the PPC will not func-
tion and you will no longer be able to program your Pump.
Proper PPC positioning
Keep the PPC near to the Pump during a programming sequence. Separa-
tion of the PPC and Pump may result in a partial transmission of a com-
mand. If this occurs, the PPC will alarm and display TELEMETRY
COM ERROR on the screen.
