DRC AFFECT ON AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE

The operating temperature for an i-STAT 1 handheld is 16ºC to 30ºC. The DRC and Rechargeable
Battery may raise the temperature of the i-STAT 1 handheld 2ºC-3ºC relative to the ambient temperature
if:
• The handheld is frequently lifted and replaced into the DRC
•
Multiple cartridges are run in the handheld while it is in the DRC.

TRANSMITTING DATA FROM THE DRC TO THE DATA MANAGER

1. Place handheld in the DRC's cradle. If properly aligned, the blue proximity light will turn on and
a "Waiting to Send" message will be displayed on the handheld until communication is estab-
lished with the Data Manager.
2. Once the handheld establishes communication with the Data Manager, a "Communication in
Progress" message will then appear on the handheld display and the arrows will circle until the
transmission is complete.
Note: Do not move handheld until the "Communication in Progress" message disappears.
