Battery performance

About the batteries
The device uses a rechargeable, 2-cell, Lithium-ion smart battery supplemented by an
optional, rechargeable, 9-cell Lithium-ion battery in the Accessory Power Management
(APM) work surface. Internal circuitry enables the batteries to report their condition to
the device and the APM work surface. The device displays the battery status via the LED
power indicator, icons on the screen, and status messages appearing in the Device
Status area of the display. The APM battery indicates the percent of total charge to user
on the front of the work surface as follows:
Number of LEDs
1
2
3
4
5
6
The battery status indicator on the device displays the remaining total charge of both
batteries combined if the configuration has both an internal battery and an extended
battery in the APM.
Battery information may be collected using the service tool.
New batteries are shipped from the manufacturer with a 40 percent charge to extend
shelf life. After installing a new battery in the device, you must plug the device into AC
power to wake up the battery. If AC power is not applied to the device, the new battery
appears discharged.
The Device Status area displays a low-battery status message when 30 minutes of
power remain and again when 5 minutes remain. The 30-minute message is a very low
priority technical alarm. The alarm message appears on a cyan background in the Device
Status area. This alarm is dismissable by the user, and all functions of the device remain
available. The 5-minute message is a high priority technical alarm that appears on a red
background in the Device Status area, is not dismissable, and prevents acquiring vitals
measurements or performing any other function until the device is plugged in to AC
power.
