It is important to prime your pen before each injection so that it will work correctly. To prime your pen- turn the dose knob to select two units. Hold your pen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top. Continuing to hold the pen with needle pointing up push the dose knob in until it stops and zero is seen in the dose window, hold the knob in and count to five slowly. 366189 Page 3 of 3
