The timers on the Disetronic are from the time the pump is first started. It has NOTHING to do with total usage of the pump but from the date it was initiated. So simply putting a battery in it when you first got them would initiate both of them unless they do/did it before shipping.

I am wondering how can a brand new pump , which has never been in use expire. My son had a pokemon silver and a gold game that had a battery inside it and when the internal battery died it didnt play anymore. You were suppose to send it back to the company and have it replaced. Im wondering if they did something like that?

I believe the theory was it would help to make sure you got a new pump. It would 1) Force the insurance company into buying you one. If they knew yours was going to shut off then they couldn't mess around on approving a new one. 2) It would force you to stay up to date. That way you don't get outdated technology or have a pump suddenly break on you (although I think the chances of breaking in 10 years are the same as 2 years.)

Personally, I think the reason is because it makes them more money. Nothing like a guarantee that you get a $6000 every 4 years for users.
