If the magnetic charging connector is seated on the pump charging contact, but the charger and charging contact LEDs
are not lit blue: Check that the charging cable is connected to an AC adapter and active outlet, PC/laptop connected to an active

power source, or a portable power pack with a full charge that is compatible with charging Pocket Pump TOUCH.

If only the charger LED lights blue: It means that there is no connection with the pump charging contact. Check and reconnect
the charging connector on the cable to the pump’s charging contact. Both the charger and charging contact LEDs should light blue
when connected properly.

Flow Fault Mode and Display

During a sample run, overloaded sample media or kinked tubing can restrict airfl ow and cause
back pressure to build to a point at which the pump can no longer compensate flow within
± 5%. If this condition is sustained for 3 to 10 seconds, the pump will go into fl ow fault mode
as follows:

1. Pump stops running and status LEDs on pump fl ash red. Elapsed time stops.

2. An exclamation point icon appears on the display next to the fl ow rate.

3. After 20 seconds in fault, the pump will a empt to restart up to 5 times.
a. If full airfl ow is restored during the restart a empts, the pump will continue the sample

run.

b. If full airfl ow is not restored during 5 restart a empts within 5 minutes, the pump will

end the sample run and display the Sample Summary. The Sample Summary will indicate
the number of faults. The LEDs will fl ash red with decreasing frequency.

4. To clear a fl ow fault, touch any bu on on the display. Note: A fl ow fault will also be cleared
when the ba ery charge is depleted.
