Battery Check

Note:
Replace the battery every 24 months.

Battery Power

To check battery power:
1. Disconnect the oximeter from AC power and verify the AC Power indicator shuts off.
2. Verify the oximeter is operating normally and the Low Battery indicator is off. If
the Low Battery indicator is lit, charge the battery.
3. Connect the oximeter to an AC power source and verify the AC Power indicator
turns on and the oximeter is operating normally.

Battery Charge

Note:
The battery charge procedure should be performed before oximeter repairs when possible.
Ensure the battery is fully charged by inspecting the Battery Fuel Gauge Indicator,
which should be completely full, and check the Low Battery Indicator, which should
be off. If the fuel gauge is not completely full, or if the Low Battery Indicator is lit,
charge the battery by connecting it to AC power. See Connecting to an AC Power
Source, page 50 and Using Battery Power, page 51.
