Low Battery Failsafe Conditions; Power Status - Mortara ELI 280 User Manual

Low Battery Failsafe Conditions

If the battery depletes to its lowest allowable level, the device will automatically power down to prevent permanent
damage to the internal lead-acid battery. Plugging in the AC cord just prior to shutdown and while the message
"Battery Low – Charge Unit" is displayed (10 seconds), will prevent the automatic shutdown.
If the battery depletes to its lowest allowable voltage while in ECG acquisition mode, the device will display the
message "Battery Low – Charge Unit", and will continue normal operation until the user exits the ECG acquisition
mode. At that time the system will automatically power down allowing the user to complete an ECG already in
progress.

Power Status

The ELI 280 has three distinct power states: Power On, Stand-by, and Off.
Power On
Power is automatically turned on when the device is connected to AC power. While powered on the ELI 280
performs all of its functions including display, acquisition, printing and transmission of ECGs.
Stand-By
Stand-by occurs automatically after the system is left idle for longer than 5 minutes without user interaction. The
user can also force the unit into Stand-by by pressing the ON/OFF button briefly. To leave the Stand-by mode press
either the ON/OFF button or touch the display. All entered patient information is maintained in Stand-by mode and
if a patient is connected, the ECG can be acquired. Effectively, only the display is turned off in Stand-by mode.
Power Off
The ELI 280 automatically turns off after 15 minutes in Stand-by mode when on battery power and no patient is
connected. The ELI 280 also turns off when battery voltage becomes too low. The operator can force the ELI 280 to
Power Off state using the Off button in the
AC power.
Reboot
Depressing the ON/OFF button for longer than 7 seconds causes the ELI 280 to execute a hard reboot, preceded by
the display flashing three (3) times. This will reset the internal clock to the default time and date. A hard reboot
causes the system to prompt the user to recalibrate the touch function (by touching the red crosses one at a time),
and re-enter the date and time at the next power On. The user can bypass setting the date and time by selecting
DONE for immediate ECG acquisition, but this ECG will have the default acquired date. The user must then set the
correct date and time manually using the Configuration icon, or, if connected to an ECG management system, by
pressing to sync the date and time. The ELI 280 will also reboot after the battery has been disconnected.
NOTE: It is normally NOT NECESSARY to reboot the ELI 280. Only reboot the ELI 280 if the touch
screen needs calibration or if you have an unrecoverable problem.
