Hi. To clarify, not looking at the screen may just be my mishigas,
but I really recall my Rav mentioning that I can use the beeps so its
better than looking at the screen. I am trying to get in touch with
him to clarify.

When I cancell an audio bolus, or when it "times out," my pump makes
a failed noise (I hope you all don't understand my reference, but
think something along the lines of Family Feud's "servey says ..X")
When I audio bolus, I get to set the "setp amount" (the amount for
each button press) and every time I press the button, a different
pitch (sequence of 4) is sounded. Lets say I want a 5.0 bolus. I will
press the button 5 times (if it is set at 1.0 "step amount") and it
will go "beep" after each press. going higher for the 1st 4 and then
starting the melody again. When I hit the "ACT" button to let it know
that I want it to deliver 5 beeps worth of insulin, it will replay
the sequence to confirm. At that point I need to press the "ACT"
button once again to activate and hear the clicks of the lever
turning, or wait until it times out or press any other button to hear
the failed audio bolus sound, which cancells it. Hope this helps.
