NOTE: When the PPC displays “PPC LOW BATTERY,” you
can clear the message and continue programming.
There should be sufficient energy in the battery to
communicate with the Pump. If while programming 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/Replacing the Main
Battery" in this Chapter.
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 than below freezing 0°C
(32°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.
