Using Battery Power

Power is supplied to the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter either from an AC
connection (100-120 or 200-240 VAC) or from a 6-volt, 4 ampere-hour battery. The
oximeter internal battery can be used to power the oximeter during transport or
when AC power is not available. The transition between power sources is invisible to
the user, from AC power to battery power or from battery power to AC power. A new,
fully charged battery provides approximately seven hours of monitoring time under
certain conditions.

Caution
To fully recharge a low or fully-depleted battery, connect the oximeter to an AC power outlet.
Charge the battery for at least eight hours with the oximeter turned off or twelve hours with
the oximeter turned on. Replace the battery if fewer than four bars are lit after fully charging
the battery. Recharge the battery at least every three months, allowing the full charge time if
it is the first recharge in several weeks.
1. Connect the oximeter to an AC power source. The oximeter will not power up without
connection to AC power.
