AC and DC
(Battery)
Operation
Your cardiograph requires the battery to be installed for
proper operation-even if the cardiograph is plugged into
AC power, it cannot print an ECG report without the
battery. For information about replacing or installing
the battery, refer to Appendix A, Setting up Your
Cardiograph for the First Time.
The following is a list of AC and battery operating
instructions:
m A fully charged battery (without AC power) will print
approximately 40 Auto ECGs, or approximately 40
minutes of continuous Manual ECG information.
m The Low Battery light indicates the battery needs to
be charged. If the Low Battery light begins to flash,
this indicates the cardiograph is about to shut down
due to a very low battery. Plug the cardiograph into
AC power.
n
From the time the Low Battery light first comes on to
when the cardiograph automatically turns itself to
Standby (off), there is typically enough reserve battery
capacity to print two Auto ECG reports or 2 minutes
of Manual ECG data. A weak or faulty battery will
reduce this time.
H A discharged battery requires at least 5 minutes
charging time, with the cardiograph in Standby (off),
to print an Auto ECG.
n
A discharged battery requires at least 10 minutes
charging time, with the cardiograph in Standby (off),
to print a l-minute Manual ECG.'
Note I
!I@
If the cardiograph is turned on while the battery is being
charged, these charging times are doubled (10 minutes
for an Auto ECG and 20 minutes for a l-minute Manual
ECG).
