Claim Text:
1. A method of storing an electrotransport drug delivery device to resist corrosion prior to use, the method comprising: separately storing an electrical module and a reservoir module, so that circuitry in the electrical module is electrically isolated from a power source in the electrical module by a power-on contact between the circuitry and the power source when the electrical module is separated from the reservoir module, wherein the power source is isolated from the circuitry by the power-on contact while the power-on contact is open; combining the electrical module and the reservoir module to form a unitary drug delivery device by connecting the circuitry via an electrical output to an input connector on the reservoir module, wherein combining the electrical module and the reservoir module causes battery contact actuators on the reservoir module to close the power-on contact allowing the power source to power the circuitry; and electrically connecting the circuitry in the electrical module to at least a pair of active electrodes in the reservoir module when the electrical module is combined with the reservoir module.
