Printer Storage Instructions

When the Printer is not in use for an extended period:
• Keep the AC adapter connected to wall outlet and Printer, if possible.
• If AC power is unavailable, disconnect the i-STAT Printer Rechargeable Battery
from the Printer. Failure to remove the battery may result in the inability for the

instructions below to determine if the i-STAT Printer Rechargeable Battery is capable of
charging:

Rechargeable Battery into the i-STAT Printer.
2. Make sure the Printer is turned off. Perform a self test on the i-STAT
Printer by pressing the Paper Feed button then the Power button and
holding both down until printing starts.
3. If the battery can be charged, the last line of the self test print out will
