Operating the N-595 on Battery Power

N-595
WARNING: Dispose of battery in accordance with local
requirements and regulations.
The N-595 monitor has an internal battery that can be used to power
the monitor during transport or when AC power is not available. A
new, fully charged battery will provide at least 2 hours of monitoring
time under the following conditions:
• No audible alarms sound
• No analog or serial output devices are attached to the
N-595
The monitor cannot operate with a fully discharged battery. Before
attempting to turn on an N-595 monitor whose battery charge has
been completely depleted, first plug the monitor into an AC outlet to
allow the battery to charge for a few minutes. The monitor may then
be powered on.
To charge a low or dead battery, connect the monitor to AC power. A
full charge of a dead battery takes 14 hours while the monitor is
turned off. A full charge of a dead battery takes 18 hours while the
monitor is in operation (monitoring a patient).
When all of the following conditions are present for 15 minutes, the
N-595 will automatically shut down:
• Monitor is running on battery power
• No buttons have been pressed
