PPC Care and Maintenance
75
NOTE: When the PPC displays PPC LOW BATTERY,
you can clear the message and continue program-
ming. There should be sufficient energy in the bat-
tery to communicate with the Pump for a minimum
If while programming the Pump, the PPC goes
blank, the PPC beeps six times and then the
"CHECK PUMP STATUS" message appears, the
PPC (AA 1.5v alkaline) battery needs to be
replaced. For instructions, see "Installing/Replac-
ing the Main Battery" in Chapter 8.
Physical protection
Protect the PPC from direct contact with water and moisture.
Never take the PPC into a sauna or steam bath. If the PPC comes
in contact with moisture where the battery compartment is wet,
remove the battery and dry compartment thoroughly. Replace the
battery and perform a SELF TEST.
Protect the PPC from temperatures greater than 40° C (104° F).
Do not leave the PPC in direct sunlight.
Protect the PPC from cold temperatures less below freezing
(0°Cor32°F).
Do not drop the PPC. Protect the PPC from sharp blows. Either
could damage the electrical components of the PPC and affect its
ability to program your implantable Pump.
