Handset Replacement And Care - ARIBEX Nomad Pro 2 Operator's Manual

5.0 Handset Replacement and Care

A RECHARGE HANDSET alarm on the display panel indicates either the
need to fully engage the handset or the need for a replacement handset.
The NOMAD Pro 2 cannot emit X-rays with a low, depleted battery (insufficient
voltage). Follow these steps to clear the RECHARGE HANDSET alarm.
Verify that the handset is locked in

place. If so and the alarm is still present,
press and release the Power (
on the control panel to turn off the NOMAD Pro 2.
Place the NOMAD Pro 2 bottom up on

a stable surface and depress the release
button on the housing, just behind the
handset, to release it from the housing.
Slide the handset forward toward the

backscatter shield and the collimator cone.
Carefully align a newly charged handset

and, while avoiding possible pinch points
between the housing and the handset, slide it into place. A properly oriented
handset should snap into place without force. A clicking sound ensures that
the handset is fastened. Make sure the handset is secure by pushing it toward
the cone. When a handset is detached for more than 60 seconds, the last
exposure setting is erased (and would have to be reset when the unit is
turned on again).
IMPORTANT HANDSET CARE NOTES:
• Each handset can go through the full discharge/charge cycle approximately
300 times. Routinely change discharged handset with fully charged one as needed.
• The handset can be left indefinitely on the charging cradle without damaging
batteries, unless AC power to charging cradle is completely interrupted or
turned off during the charge cycle.
• Battery charge will diminish during extended inactivity. Fully recharge
handsets every three months during inactivity. Never place a low charge
battery into long-term storage.
• Do not attempt to charge a handset with damaged batteries.
• Risk of fire or explosion exists if batteries inside the handset are replaced
by unauthorized service personnel; do not use batteries from other sources.
• Properly dispose of spent or damaged handsets; return to Aribex or
an authorized distributor for replacement and recycling. Do not place in
municipal waste stream.
