Battery Replacement

The battery, made of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) rechargeable cells, is integral to the device and cannot be
replaced by anyone other Nonin Technical Service. The life expectancy of the battery is approximately
1 year.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is
!
not field replaceable and cannot be replaced by the operator. Use only Nonin-
specified components. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Contact Nonin Technical Service when the battery needs replacing. Battery
replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazardous situation.
For optimal performance, the battery should be replaced once per year to limit the amount of Li build
up if the battery is charged in a cold environment.
