D. Replacing the batteries
The battery-power level is shown by bars changing from green (full),
to yellow, to red (low). When the battery-power level is very low,
easypod will display the warning “Replace battery” (33a).
You will not be able to inject your next dose until the batteries
are changed.
To change the batteries, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off easypod.
2. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the battery cover.
3. Remove the used batteries and appropriately discard them.
4. Insert four new ‘AAA’ batteries as shown inside the battery cover. Lithium batteries* are
strongly recommended and expected to last approximately 10 months (supplied with
easypod by EMD Serono).
5. Screw the battery cover back onto easypod.
6. Turn on easypod.
7. Reset the date and time. Each time the batteries are changed, the date and time
need to be reset (see “Date & Time”, page 11).
*Alkaline batteries can be used in easypod and are expected to last approximately six months.
