Chapter 7: Alerts and Errors
A safety system monitors and controls the function of your pump. This safety
system performs more than 9 million safety checks every day. If it detects a
change from the pump’s normal state, it will trigger an alert (warning instruction)
or an error (error message). Beeps, vibrations, and messages on the pump
display indicate the cause of an alert or error. Alerts and errors are the only
way you will be quickly notified of any changes in your pump.
Your pump gives alerts and errors using beeps and vibrations. You can turn off
either the beeps or the vibrations, but for your safety you cannot turn off both
at the same time for the initial alarm signal.
If you do not confirm an alert or error within 60 seconds, it will signal again.
When the beep is turned off or programmed at lower than maximum volume
level, the beep volume will rise to the loudest volume level if not confirmed.
The beep and vibration will continue at this level until confirmed.
Note:
The volume of the STOP-Warning is separate from the programmed beep
volume and cannot be changed. It always occurs at the maximum level.
KeyLock is unlocked by the system each time an alert or error occurs.

! Check the pump display at least every three hours during
the day, and before you go to sleep, and especially if you
might be not be able to hear the beeps or feel the vibrations.
