supply whenever possible.

in a significant reduction in battery life.

sensors or their packaging are damaged, they
must be disposed of as advised
in Appendix F.
Storage and Battery Care
If it
becomes necessary to store the Monitor for an
extended period of
time, first fully charge then remove the
battery.
Then store the Monitor and the battery
in the
original packaging materials.
Batteries should always be fully charged before being
placed in
storage. Even after 6 months of storage, a fully
charged battery can retain about 80% of its charge. A fully
charged battery
in good condition
will provide sufficient
power to operate a Monitor for approximately 2 hours,
including temperature and BP
measurements made at
S-minute intervals.
It
is best to keep the battery charged as fully as practical
and
never store the Monitor with the battery
in a discharged
condition. When the battery will no longer hold a charge,
remove and replace it with one of the same part number.
Failure to replace the battery with the same Critikon part
number may result in shorter battery life.
To charge the battery, insert the plug from either the AC
mains power
cord or the
AC-DC
power converter
into an
appropriate AC outlet. The battery will charge regardless of
the
position
of any switches.
Battery charging will take place as
long as the Monitor
remains connected to an external AC power source. A
battery that is fully discharged can be fully recharged in
hour 50 minutes when the Monitor is switched
off or 8
hours if the Monitor is switched on.
