Roche Accu-Check Insight - Inserting the Battery

2.1 Inserting the battery
Your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump requires a 1.5 V AAA
alkaline (LR03) or lithium (FR03) battery.
Your pump turns on as soon as you insert the battery.
When you remove the battery, your pump stores the time and
date for about 10 hours.
When you remove the battery while your pump is delivering
insulin (RUN mode), the insulin delivery stops automatically
(PAUSE mode) and restarts as soon as you insert a new battery.
After a confirmation, Temporary Basal Rates and boluses that are
currently running will continue. The pump will emit a beep every
8 seconds as long as the battery is removed while the pump is in
PAUSE mode.
However, the pump stops completely and cancels Temporary
Basal Rates and boluses when it is without a battery for more
than 15 minutes (STOP mode). Once you have replaced the
battery, you then have to restart it from the main Menu screen
and program any Temporary Basal Rates and boluses again. See
chapter3.2, page39.
Your insulin pump settings (such as the basal rates and bolus
increment) and event memory (bolus and alarm history, history of
daily insulin totals and Temporary Basal Rates) are always saved,
regardless of battery condition or the amount of time your pump
has been without power.
To ensure your pump remains watertight the battery
compartment cover needs to be changed every 3 months.

Do not use rechargeable or carbon zink batteries. These as
well as very old batteries may leak and corrode the battery
contacts in your pump. This could lead to an electronic short
circuit resulting in dangerous heat development up to 60 °C
(140 °F).
Before inserting batteries make sure that they are not damaged
(e.g. damaged plastics isolation coating) or leaking as damaged
or leaking batteries could damage your pump.
