Battery Maintenance
Battery Capacity
While the unit is operating on battery power, operators can best determine the relative amount
of charge in the internal battery by looking at the Battery Icon/Indicator. The Battery icon
appears in outline form and is filled with horizontal rows of lines indicating its current capacity.
Each line represents 5% of battery capacity.
Battery Care and Charging
The unit uses a rechargable lithium-ion battery, which offers a wide temperature operating
range, does not exhibit "memory" characteristics (reduced capacity), or vent hydrogen gas. The
life of this battery depends, to a great extent, upon the care it receives. Avoid exposing it to
direct sunlight or heat sources and never store the battery at temperatures above 76
for more than 2 hours. Following these simple guidelines will prevent premature charge
depletion and reduction of battery life.
Caution
Only use the Power Supply provided with the unit (ZOLL PN 703-0731-01). Use of any other
power supply could cause damage or create a fire and/or destroy the battery and unit.
Caution
If you witness a battery or the battery compartment starting to balloon, swell up, smoke, or feel
excessively hot, turn off the unit, disconnect external power, and observe it in a safe place for
approximately 15 minutes and send the unit for service. Never puncture or disassemble the
battery packs or cells.
Caution
Never attempt to completely discharge the battery by shorting or some other method and never
ship the battery in a completely discharged state.
Caution
During continuous, uninterrupted use (>100 hours), it is recommended that the ventilator be
disconnected from AC power for 30 seconds to allow the battery to run diagnostics while the
battery is discharging.
Note:
1. Battery charging is controlled by the ventilator in the temperature range of 0

DO NOT store the ventilator with the batteries discharged. Always store with the battery fully
charged.
For long-term storage, the optimum storage temperature range is -15

The ventilator continuously monitors the available power sources; occasionally a false
Low Priority power alarm can be triggered for ~1 second. These false alarms
immediately clear themselves.
