Operating on Battery Power

N-600x Operator's Manual
WARNING: Dispose of battery in accordance with local
requirements and regulations.
The N-600x 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 provides at least 7 hours of monitoring
time under the following conditions:
• No audible alarms sound
• No analog or serial output devices are attached to the
N-600x
• Default display brightness setting
The monitor cannot be used when the battery is depleted unless the
monitor is connected to an AC power source. A warning message
displays and must be cleared by pressing the ALARM SILENCE
button before the monitor can be used for patient monitoring.
The pleth and blip displays include a battery fuel gauge indicator that
shows the remaining charge (operating hours). When the monitor is
fully charged, all four bars are lit on the indicator.
Caution: If the N-600x monitor is stored for a period of three
months or longer, notify service personnel to place the monitor in
"Shelf-mode" prior to storage. The monitor can be placed in
"Shelf-mode" by qualified service personnel using the procedures
indicated in the N-600x Service Manual. Recharge the battery
when it has not been charged for three or more months.
