Safety

The following sections provide important warnings and notices regarding ZOLL's SurePower
Single Bay Charger.

Warnings

Always check that a battery pack's Ready light is on before using the battery in a
•
defibrillator.
Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger in a patient environment.
•
Charge only SurePower and SurePower II battery packs in the SurePower Single Bay
•
Charger. Charging other battery packs may cause overheating or damage.
Accidental sliding or drop of the SurePower Single Bay Charger or battery may cause
•
physical injury. Operate the SurePower Single Bay Charger on a stable surface and be
careful when carrying or moving the unit to avoid injury. Damaged batteries may expose
users to a safety hazard. Should the SurePower Single Bay Charger or SurePower Battery
Pack be dropped, inspect and test the unit prior to further use following the procedures
described in this manual. Use caution when handling batteries with damaged case.
Avoid prolonged exposure of the
•
SurePower Battery Pack to direct sunlight to minimize charger and battery heating and the
damage that may occur from exposure to ultraviolet light.
The SurePower Single Bay Charger and ZOLL rechargeable defibrillator batteries have
•
been tested against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of two-way radios
used in emergency service/public safety activities. Refer to Appendix A to determine
recommended operating distances from RF transmission equipment.
Use only the AC cord supplied with the device. Failure to use the proper line cord could
•
result in excess leakage currents, EMC problems, and reduced safety.
Do not disassemble the SurePower Single Bay Charger. A shock hazard exists. Refer all
•
problems to qualified personnel.
Do not place anything on top of or beneath the SurePower Single Bay Charger, such as
•
blankets or cloths. Doing so may block the vents on the unit, preventing proper dissipation
of heat during operation.
Do not use the SurePower Single Bay Charger unit stacked with other equipment.
•
Do not use a battery unless the charger's Ready LED is lit and the Fault LED is off. Failure
•
to do so may result in the use of a fully depleted battery.
Use the SurePower Single Bay Charger only in a well-ventilated area. Should a battery
•
become overheated, the battery can vent gas that is harmful and potentially explosive.
An insulation or ground failure in the SurePower Single Bay Charger can result in
•
dangerous leakage currents. To avoid this, perform periodic inspection following the
procedures described in this manual.
Do not operate the SurePower Single Bay Charger in the presence of flammable agents
•
(such as gasoline), oxygen-rich atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics. Using the device in
the presence of flammable agents can cause an explosion.
Do not immerse or set the SurePower Single Bay Charger or SurePower Battery Pack in
•
liquid. Using the device near or within puddles of water may present a shock hazard to the
operator, patient, and nearby personnel.
A pinch hazard exists when installing a battery into the charging bay.
•
If the display indicators on a SurePower Battery Pack are not consistent with the indicators
•
on the SurePower Single Bay Charger or ZOLL defibrillator, a charging fault condition is
present. Remove the battery from service as soon as practical, and verify the correct
operation of the charger, defibrillator, and battery.
