Battery Power Gauge and Indicator

The gauge indicates approximate battery run time remaining
under current operating conditions. It is located in the lower
display and is always on. To ensure a more accurate battery
gauge reading, review the remaining battery run time
approximately five minutes after starting an infusion.
Battery run time might be affected by the operating mode, rate,
monitoring options, and back pressure. The gauge accuracy is
based on the last refresh cycle and is affected by the number of
charge/discharge/recharge cycles. The instrument label and
battery gauge are always displayed, even when the instrument
is turned off; however, the battery gauge does not represent
the battery time remaining when the instrument is turned off.
The battery recharges whenever the instrument is plugged into
an outlet. The battery can be replaced when charging
AC
capacity gets too low.
All batteries gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge over
time and use. To maintain optimal battery performance,
ensure that the instrument is connected to
possible, including when it is powered off or stored.

Battery Replacement and Disposal

Battery replacement should be performed by qualified service
personnel while the instrument is not in use. Use only
CareFusion batteries.
