WARNING: IF THE VEHICLE'S DC POWER SOURCE DROPS BELOW 20.0 VOLTS (BROWNOUT CONDITION) THE SAROS

WILL REVERT TO BATTERY OPERATION IF THE BATTERY IS PRESENT.

TYPICAL NEW BATTERY OPERATING TIME

Battery Operating Time: The remaining operating time of the Battery is displayed on the user control panel when in Battery mode.

A variety of factors, such as flow setting, Pulse or Continuous Flow Mode, temperature or age will impact the operating time. The

following table provides operating time estimates for the SAROS operating on a fully charged Battery given certain flow settings

and nominal operating conditions.

NOTE: Battery run time will degrade under high temperature use and as the battery cells age.

CAUTION: Store the battery in a cool and dry location. This will help to assure the longevity of the battery.

CAUTION: U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (U.N.) regulations require the removal of

the battery from the device for all international airline travel when the SAROS is checked as luggage. When ship-

ping the SAROS, the battery must also be removed from the device and packaged properly.

CAUTION: Only replace the CAIRE Inc. battery supplied with the device with a CAIRE Inc. battery.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE BATTERY; THERE ARE NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY.

WARNING: DO NOT STORE THE SAROS WITH THE BATTERY INSTALLED IN THE UNIT. RETURN THE BATTERY TO AN

AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER OR CAIRE INC. FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.

WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, INCINERATE, OR HEAT THE BATTERY ABOVE 140° F (60° C). THE BATTERY, USED

IN THIS DEVICE, MAY PRESENT A RISK OF FIRE OR CHEMICAL BURN IF MISTREATED.

TYPICAL BATTERY RECHARGE TIME

The typical time to recharge your Battery, in order to achieve 80% capacity, from a fully discharged Battery is 1.5 hours, while

operating at 3 LPM continuous flow.

If the Battery becomes too warm during discharging, recharging will not begin until the Battery sufficiently cools. Removing the

Battery and allowing it to cool may expedite this cooling process.

INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING

The new Battery supplied with the SAROS is not fully charged when it is shipped from the factory. Pushing the Test Button on the

Battery will indicate the level of charge within. Before using the SAROS for the first time, fully charge the Battery.

Attach the Battery by aligning the connector on the battery to the mating part on the bottom of the SAROS. The Battery will click

into place. Depress latching pin button prior to connecting battery.
