Install battery
CAUTION: Do not use a rechargeable or carbon zinc battery in your pump. For best results use a new
Energizer AAA alkaline battery, size E92, type LR03.
Medtronic Diabetes designed the pump to only accept a new battery. As a safety measure, if you install a
battery that does not have full power, the WEAK BATTERY or FAILED BATT TEST alarm may sound. If you
receive a WEAK BATTERY alarm, respond to the alarm and continue. The pump will still operate normally,
but with a decreased battery life. The pump uses one AAA alkaline battery.

Make sure all the following apply:
• Clear (ESC, ACT) any alarms and/or alerts before removing and replacing the battery.
• Make sure the pump is at the HOME (idle) screen when you remove the battery.
• Do NOT remove the battery during a bolus or prime delivery.

Remove the old battery and dispose of it per
the disposable requirements of your state or
country. Put the new battery in the pump with
the negative end [(-) symbol] going in first.
Check the label on the back of the pump to
make sure the battery is inserted correctly.
NOTE: Do not use batteries that have been
in cold storage, such as in the refrigerator or
in your car during winter in cold climates.

Place the battery cap in the pump and tighten so the slot is aligned
horizontally with the pump as shown here:
CAUTION: Do NOT over-tighten the battery cap. You should not turn
the cap more than four half turns. If you over-tighten the cap you
may not be able to remove it, and you can damage your pump.
