Operating the Battery
28
Caution: Replace the battery if fewer than four bars are lit after
fully charging the battery. To charge a low or fully depleted
battery, connect the monitor to AC power outlet. A full charge of
a fully depleted battery takes 8 hours to charge while the monitor
is turned off. A full charge of a fully depleted battery takes 12
hours while the monitor is in the normal operating mode.
Caution: If the monitor is operated on an AC power source with a
depleted battery and the AC power is subsequently lost, the
monitor will shut down immediately.
When all of the following conditions are present for 15 minutes, the
N-600x automatically shuts down:
•
Monitor is running on battery power
•
No buttons have been pressed
•
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 source, the
battery is being charged. We recommend the monitor remain
connected to an AC power source when not in use. This ensures a
fully-charged battery when the monitor is needed.
