User Guide Maintaining the AutoPulse System Charging Batteries in the Battery Charger The Battery Charger can charge and maintain up to two Li-Ion Batteries. To charge a Battery, follow these steps: Slide the Battery into an available charging bay (see Figure 4-1). Make sure that the Battery locks into place (locking bar engaged).
User Guide The Battery Charger automatically detects the presence of the Li-Ion Battery within 5 seconds. The Battery Charger’s status will be indicated on the control panel (see Figure 4-2). Figure 4-2 Battery Charger Control Panel The Battery Charger will automatically perform a Test-Cycle when needed. This will automatically occur at a minimum of once every 30 days (For more information, refer to the AutoPulse Power System User Guide).
The AutoPulse System has no user-serviceable parts, nor does the device require regular maintenance. There are no components that require calibration. Users should periodically inspect the AutoPulse system to ensure the device’s functionality. In case of repair or service, contact ZOLL at +1.800.348.9011 or +1.978.421.9655.

Inspect the Battery, including the connector for physical damage that would preclude its insertion in either the platform or the Battery Charger. Contact ZOLL as needed. Inspect the Battery for cracks in the Battery case exposing internal components. If the Battery is damaged, do not attempt to place the Battery into the Platform- this can cause damage to the internal connector of the Platform.
User Guide If the product malfunctions or fails any of these inspections, contact ZOLL at +1.800.348.9011 or +1.978.421.9655. Disposal and Recycling 4.5.1 Platform Dispose of in accordance with local governing ordinances and recycling plans for electronic waste. 4.5.2 Battery Charger Dispose of in accordance with local governing ordinances and recycling plans for electronic waste.

User Guide Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Platform is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Platform should be observed to verify normal operation.
