™
Turn the power on by pressing the Power ( ) button.
To change exposure settings press the increase or decrease buttons.

Do not operate NOMAD or battery charger if equipment was
subjected to moisture.
Do not spray disinfectant or cleaners directly on the NOMAD
or battery charger. Damage to your device or a shock hazard
may result. Consult the Operator Manual on the CD for proper
cleaning instructions.
Do not open the housings. Doing so will void the warranty.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the NOMAD or
battery charger.
Locate the charging system away from the normal patient
environment.
NOMAD should not be operated if it has been dropped or
performance degrades; it should be returned to Aribex for a
safety check.
BATTERY CARE
The following are important battery care notes:
• Each battery can go through the full (dis)charge cycle approximately
200 times. Routinely change out a discharged battery with fully
charged one, as needed.
• A flashing, yellow Low Battery indicator (control panel) and
intermittent audible signal indicate the need for a freshly charged
battery.
• Charge only between +4°C (+39°F) and +40°C (+104°F).
Recommended charging temperature is +24°C (+75°F).
• A battery can be left indefinitely in the plugged-in charger without
damaging batteries. When the charging indicator stops flashing,
leaving the battery in the charger for 8 hours helps to maintain
optimum battery capacity (equalization).
• Battery charge will diminish during extended inactivity – fully
recharge batteries every 3 months during inactivity.
Never place a low charge battery into long-term storage.
• Do not store batteries in extreme conditions: below –20°C (–4°F)
or above +40°C (+104°F), or beyond 95% relative humidity
(non-condensing). The optimal storage location is cool, dry, and
away from direct sunlight.
• Do not store or carry batteries so that battery terminals can be
damaged or exposed to contact with conductive objects.
• Always unplug the charger from the power supply when it is not
in use. For additional info specifically about the charger, see the
accompanying instruction manual for the battery charger.
Do not attempt to charge a handset with damaged batteries.
Risk of fire or explosion exists if batteries inside the handset
are replaced by unauthorized service personnel; do not use
batteries from other sources.
Properly dispose of spent or damaged handsets; return to
Aribex or an authorized distributor for replacement and
recycling. Do not place in municipal waste stream.
