9 Volt Battery
1. Actual battery life will vary depending on the brand of battery,

temperature conditions, delivery rates, and frequency of screen
display, backlighting and printing.
2. The expected life of a 9 volt battery is 12 hours at 100
ml/hour, or approximately 5 days at 10 ml/day. This estimate
is based on laboratory tests conducted at room temperature using
a fresh battery.
3. It is recommended that a fresh 9 volt battery be kept available
for replacement if
necessary.
Power Pack or AC Adapter
1. The AC adapter may be used to power the CADD Prizm Pump as
an alternative to a 9-volt battery. When using the power pack
or AC adapter, the pump must also contain a functional 9 volt
battery as a backup. Otherwise, the pump will not start.
2. To attach the Power Pack or AC adapter, open the cover for
the Power jack, line up the red mark on the Power Pack or AC
adapter connecter with the red mark on the Pump. Push in until
it clicks. Plug into a 3-pronged wall outlet.
3. To detach the Power Pack or AC adapter, pull the connecter
back using a straight, steady motion. DO NOT twist or turn the
connector.
4. See CADD, External Power Source (EPS) System manual for further
instructions.
