Connection: ApexPro Transmitter Setup
Battery Functional Life
The ApexPro transmitter runs on two AA batteries. Battery life is
approximately 40 hours. Battery life for the ApexPro CH transmitter is
approximately 120 hours (not for sale outside of the U.S. and Canada).
For optimum performance, follow these guidelines:
Install two new alkaline batteries each time you begin monitoring a
new patient.
Install two new alkaline batteries whenever the Change Battery
LED on the ApexPro transmitter is flashing.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Always change both batteries at the same time.
Always use new batteries.
CAUTION
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
recommends that you always replace both batteries at
the same time. Re-using old batteries or using a
combination of old and new batteries in the ApexPro
transmitter will compromise functionality of the
transmitter and increase the risk of fire hazard.
