Basal patterns
The Basal Patterns feature is optional for pump users. You can set your pump to deliver a standard basal and
two additional basal patterns to meet your individual daily, weekly, or monthly needs. Keep a paper copy of
your programmed patterns with you at all times in case you need to reprogram your pump. To select and use
pattern A or pattern B, the patterns option must be turned on and programmed.
NOTE: You may want to explore this option after you become familiar with the basic pump functions. It
is important that you consult your healthcare professional before using a pattern other than your standard
pattern.
• Standard pattern: Your normal basal that supports your usual day-to-day activity. When the Patterns
feature is off, the pump uses your standard basal pattern.
• Pattern A/B: Basal pattern that supports activity levels that are not a part of your day-to-day routine,
but are normal in your lifestyle. Such activities could be a sport that you do once a week or a change in
your sleep pattern over the weekend, extended periods of higher or lower activity, or menses.
Turning on the patterns
Your pump is set at the factory with the basal patterns feature turned off. After you turn on patterns, you
still have to program and select a pattern (A or B), as described in the next sections, before the patterns
feature is active. If you turn off the patterns feature, your pump will automatically select your standard
basal pattern.
1 Go to the PATTERNS OPTION screen.
Main > Basal > Basal Setup > Patterns
2 Select On, then press ACT. The patterns feature is now on. Exit the menus.
Programming a pattern
Your pump will keep your pattern settings even when the Patterns option is turned off. However, the patterns
feature must be on to program a basal pattern.
To program your patterns, do these steps:
1 Go to the EDIT BASAL screen.
Main > Basal > Basal Setup > Set/Edit Basal
2 Select the basal pattern you want to program, then press ACT.
