TYPICAL NEW BATTERY OPERATING TIME
Battery Operating Time: The remaining operating time of the Battery is displayed on the user control panel when in Battery mode. A variety
of factors, such as flow setting, Pulse or Continuous Flow Mode, temperature or age will impact the operating time. The following table
provides operating time estimates for the SAROS operating on a fully charged Battery given certain flow settings and nominal operating
conditions.

NOTE: Battery run time will degrade under high temperature use and as the battery cells age.
CAUTION: Store the battery in a cool and dry location. This will help to assure the longevity of the battery.
CAUTION: U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (U.N.) regulations require the removal of the battery
from the device for all international airline travel when the SAROS is checked as luggage. When shipping the SAROS, the
battery must also be removed from the device and packaged properly.
CAUTION: Only replace the CAIRE Inc. battery supplied with the device with a CAIRE Inc. battery.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE BATTERY; THERE ARE NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE BATTERY.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE THE SAROS WITH THE BATTERY INSTALLED IN THE UNIT. RETURN THE BATTERY TO AN AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER OR CAIRE INC. FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, INCINERATE, OR HEAT THE BATTERY ABOVE 140° F (60° C). THE BATTERY, USED IN THIS
DEVICE, MAY PRESENT A RISK OF FIRE OR CHEMICAL BURN IF MISTREATED.
TYPICAL BATTERY RECHARGE TIME
The typical time to recharge your Battery, in order to achieve 80% capacity, from a fully discharged Battery is 1.5 hours, while operating at 3
LPM continuous flow.
If the Battery becomes too warm during discharging, recharging will not begin until the Battery sufficiently cools. Removing the Battery and
allowing it to cool may expedite this cooling process.
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING
The new Battery supplied with the SAROS is not fully charged when it is shipped from the factory. Pushing the Test Button on the Battery
will indicate the level of charge within. Before using the SAROS for the first time, fully charge the Battery.
Attach the Battery by aligning the connector on the battery to the mating part on the bottom of the SAROS. The Battery will click into place.
Depress latching pin button prior to connecting battery.
Power the SAROS ON, with the AC Power Adapter plugged in, and the Battery correctly installed. With the device powered ON, allow the
Battery to completely charge. The Battery is fully charged when the Battery Status Gauge Indicator on the Control Panel is completely illumi-
nated or the device has been charging for a minimum of 5 hours.
WARNING: If out of operating specifications, allow SAROS and SAROS accessories to return to normal operating range
specifications prior to use.
