N-600x Operator's Manual
WARNING: Dispose of battery in accordance with local
requirements and regulations.
The N-600x monitor has an internal battery that can be used to
power the monitor during transport or when AC power is not
available. A new, fully charged battery provides at least 7 hours of
monitoring time under the following conditions:
•
No audible alarms sound
•
No analog or serial output devices are attached to the
N-600x
•
Default display brightness setting
The monitor cannot be used when the battery is depleted unless
the monitor is connected to an AC power source. A warning
message displays and must be cleared by pressing the ALARM
SILENCE button before the monitor can be used for patient
monitoring.
The pleth and blip displays include a battery fuel gauge indicator
that shows the remaining charge (operating hours). When the
monitor is fully charged, all four bars are lit on the indicator.
Caution: If the N-600x monitor is stored for a period of
three months or longer, notify service personnel to place
the monitor in "Shelf-mode" prior to storage. The monitor
can be placed in "Shelf-mode" by qualified service
personnel using the procedures indicated in the N-600x
