Installing the Batteries
Two types of batteries are used in the 90217 ABP Monitor: three standard AA batteries (Spacelabs
Medical P/N 146-5011-xx) to power the cuff air pump, and one rechargeable lithium battery to
backup the clock and RAM circuits when the AA batteries are removed or are exhausted. This
lithium battery receives its charge from the AA batteries and does not normally require
replacement. Its expected life is at least nine years.
If alkaline batteries are used as the AA batteries, they must be replaced after each patient use.
Nickel cadmium batteries require a full charge before each use.
AA Batteries
To replace the three AA batteries:
1 Switch the monitor's power switch to OFF.
2 Remove the battery compartment cover plate by sliding it to the right until it can be pulled free.
3 If present, remove the old AA batteries from the monitor and replace each with a fresh alkaline
battery (or fully charged nickel cadmium), being careful to match polarities where indicated (+
or -).
Note:
The monitor will not operate if batteries are incorrectly installed.
If the monitor is going to be stored longer than two weeks, remove the AA batteries to
prevent the possibility of leakage or discharge. Spacelabs Medical is not responsible
for product damage caused by battery leakage. If your unit has been damaged by a
leaky battery, contact the battery manufacturer for any recoverable repair costs.
