Battery Operation

Low Battery Indicator

22
• No pulse has been detected (for example, when a patient
is not connected to the O
sensor is disconnected from the monitor)
• No alarms are present (other than low battery or a
non-correctable error)
Note: Whenever the monitor is connected to AC power, the battery is
being charged. Therefore, it is recommended that the monitor
remain connected to AC power when not in use. This will
ensure a fully charged battery whenever it is needed.
The Low Battery Indicator lights and a low priority alarm begins to
sound when approximately 15 minutes of monitoring time is
available on the existing battery charge. Refer to Table 2 for a
description of the low and critical battery conditions.
If the monitor is not on AC power, a low battery audible alarm can be
canceled by pressing the ALARM SILENCE button. The low battery
indicator and display screen message will continue to be displayed.
Plugging the monitor into AC power will silence the audible alarm,
but the low battery indicator will stay lit as long as the battery is in the
low voltage condition. After the 15-minute period of low battery
condition, a high priority alarm will sound for about 10 seconds
before the monitor shuts off.
If the monitor backlight is turned off during a low battery condition,
the backlight cannot be turned back on.
It is recommended that qualified service personnel replace the
internal battery every 24 months. Replaced batteries should be
disposed of in accordance with local ordinances.
