Operation
Battery Care
It is recommended that the battery be tested every 3 months, at a
minimum, as described in "Testing the Battery" on page 61. A fully
charged battery is designed to operate for a minimum of 45 minutes at
default settings (see "Battery backup" on page 73). If it appears that the
battery does not meet these specifications, perform this test and replace
the battery as needed.
When the unit is in Standby mode, if the red ALARM LED illuminates this
indicates that there is a problem with the battery charging cycle. If the
BATTERY CHARGING and the ON BATTERY LEDs are illuminated
simultaneously then contact Respironics Customer Service.
The BiPAP Focus self tests will also indicate when the battery needs to
be replaced by displaying a Batt Charge Failure message (see "Alarms"
on page 47). Contact Customer Service to purchase a replacement
battery.
