2.2 Charging the Battery

The SVED® has an internal battery that provides up to 18 hours of operation from a fully charged battery.
When the battery is running low, an alert will sound to let you know you must plug in the SVED® to charge the battery.
See 3.2 Troubleshooting.
1. Plug the A.C. Power Adapter into a suitable wall outlet (100-240VAC, 50-60Hz).
2. Insert the A.C. Power Adapter into the Battery Charging Port on the left side of the SVED® (Figure 2).
3. When the SVED® is connected to an outlet, the green light next to the Plugged In symbol comes on. If the battery
is charging, the yellow light next to the Battery Charging symbol comes on. Once the battery is fully charged, the
light goes off.
NOTE: If the SVED® is plugged in and green light does not turn on, check to make sure outlet is working properly.
4. The SVED® continues to work when charging.
WARNING: The SVED® must only be used with the supplied A.C. Power Adapter. Use of any other A.C. Power Adapter
or charger could result in physical hazard, including delayed therapy, electrocution and fire. These hazards could result
in injury or death.

Average Battery Life
The specified battery life of the SVED® with a fully-charged battery is up to 18 hours. The actual life is dependent on the
integrity of the dressing. A leak in the dressing can significantly reduce overall battery longevity.
Average Time for Recharging
To ensure the battery has been fully charged, the SVED® should be connected to an A.C. Power Adaptor for
approximately 3 hours. After approximately 2 hours of charging, the SVED® reaches 80 percent of total battery capacity.
