Replacing the Batteries

"AA" batteries provide the main power source for the monitors. The 90207 uses four batteries, and
the 90217 uses three. These batteries should be replaced or recharged before the start of each
patient monitoring. Use either alkaline or NiCad batteries.
In the 90207, a lithium battery (P/N 146-0008-XX) is used to back up the monitor memory and
should be replaced periodically. The 90217 backup battery should not require replacement.
Main Battery Replacement
• if the main "AA" batteries must be replaced during patient monitoring, this
!
replacement must be accomplished within one minute to ensure successful
resumption of the test (90207 only).
1. Turn the monitor off, and remove the door over the battery compartment.
2. Replace the AA alkaline or NiCad batteries, being careful to observe polarities.
CAUTION:
• The monitor will not operate if the alkaline, nickel cadmium, or lithium
batteries are incorrectly installed. If the monitor is going to be stored for
an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent the possibility
of leakage or discharge.
• Spacelabs Medical is not responsible for product damage incurred as a
result of AA battery leakage. In the event your unit has been damaged by
a leaking battery, contact the battery manufacturer for any recoverable
repair or replacement costs. Spacelabs Medical will assist you in
determining those costs
