Use the cot battery LED indicator to check the S S M M R R T T Pak power level. A charged S S M M R R T T Pak, in working condition,

provides up to 25 calls with a 250 pound patient (actual results may vary). The 24 VDC P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O system and the S S M M R R T T

Pak is rated for 2.4 amp-hours of electric energy.

W W A A R R N N I I N N G G - - Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.

C C A A U U T T I I O O N N - - Always charge the battery before you place the product into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may

cause poor product performance.

To check the battery power level, press the retract (-) button on the cot control switch to activate the cot battery LED

indicator. The cot battery LED indicator is located at the foot end control enclosure (shown as a battery symbol).

•

The LED is solid green when the battery has a full charge or has an adequate battery power charge.

N N o o t t e e - - For best results, use the S S M M R R T T Pak until the cot battery LED indicator changes from solid green to flashing

amber.

•

The LED flashes amber when you need to charge or replace the battery

N N o o t t e e - - The cot battery LED indicator does not have to flash amber before you remove and replace the S S M M R R T T Pak,

however, this is considered to be a best practice. You can remove and recharge the S S M M R R T T Pak at any time.

•

The LED is a solid amber to indicate a battery error.

N N o o t t e e

• Only use Stryker approved batteries.

• If equipped, the powered cot fastener automatically charges the S S M M R R T T Pak battery. Automatic charging occurs when

you lock the cot into the powered cot fastener (no cable or connectors required). The cot battery LED indicator flashes

green for a moment to signify that it is charging.

• Automatic charging will only occur with S S M M R R T T Pak batteries.
