WARNING: Dispose of an old battery by following local guidelines
for disposal of nickel metal hydride batteries.
560 on Battery Power
The N-560 has an internal battery that may be used to power the N-560
during transport or when AC power is not available. A new, fully charged
battery will provide at least 8 hours of monitoring time under the
following conditions: no audible alarms sound and no serial output
devices are attached.
Note: Whenever the N-560 is connected to AC power, the battery is being
charged. Therefore, it is recommended that the N-560 remain
connected to AC power when not in use. This will make a fully
charged battery available for use at any time.
The N-560 cannot operate with a dead battery. Before attempting to turn
on an N-560 with a depleted battery, first plug the N-560 into an AC
outlet. The N-560 may then be powered on.
To charge a low or dead battery, connect the N-560 to AC power. A full
charge of a dead battery takes 6 hours.
When all of the following conditions are present for 15 minutes, the
N-560 will automatically shut down:
•
N-560 is running on battery power
•
No buttons have been pressed
•
No pulse has been detected (for example, when no patient is
connected to the sensor or the sensor is disconnected)
•
No alarms are present (other than low battery or a non-correctable
error)
