Selftest
Selftest is a safety utility that allows you to check if your pump is operating properly. This self-diagnostic
feature can be used for maintenance or to check your pump if it operates unusually. During selftest, your
pump will automatically run internal tests, including a check for proper operation of the beep and vibrate
modes. The selftest is additional to the routine tests that run independently while the pump operates.
Contact your local help line or representative if any of the tests do not occur as described here.
