2048723-002D CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 3-3

Installation: Powering the monitor

 Charge battery pack for 8 hours before first use or after prolonged periods

of storage.

 If the monitor is idle for extended periods, it should be fully charged at least

once a month to ensure optimum performance. If the monitor is to be stored

for longer than one month, first charge the battery and then remove it and

store it separately from the monitor.

 The battery pack should be charged before use, because a charged battery

loses charge when left in storage. Sealed lead-acid batteries can discharge

to less than 80% of charge within 60 days of storage. Charging is done

automatically by the monitor when the external DC power is connected.

 The battery pack should be charged at room temperature: 16°C to 30°C

(59°F to 86°F).

 You can charge or top-off

the battery pack at any time.

You should not wait until

battery is fully discharged.

 To prolong the life of the

battery, keep the monitor

connected to a DC power

supply whenever possible.

Do not allow the battery to

become completely

discharged.

 A fully charged battery will

power the monitor for

approximately 5-11 hours,

depending upon

configuration and usage.

 To ensure full charge cycles, replace only with the specified battery.

BATTERY OK

When the monitor is operating on main battery power and the BATTERY LOW

alarm is not active, the BATTERY OK indicator is backlit green.

Battery alarms

When about 45 minutes of main battery charge remains:

The low-priority BATTERY LOW alarm is issued.

 This alarm can be acknowledged and cleared by pressing the Silence

button.

 The BATTERY LOW alarm will re-alarm every 10 minutes after it has been

acknowledged.

 If the alarm is not acknowledged, the alarm is re-issued every 8 seconds.

 The monitor continues to operate normally.
