Initial Battery Charging
Before use, the Rad-87 battery needs to be fully charged.
To charge the internal battery, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet and to the Power
Entry Module located on the back of the Rad-87. The AC Power Indicator illuminates. The AC
Power Indicator will remain illuminated while the battery is charging. The Battery Charge Level
Indicator will not be illuminated unless the instrument is operating on battery power. See Section
7-2, Specifications.
Initial Installation
Place the Rad-87 on a stable hard flat surface near the patient. Always place the Rad-87 on a
dry surface. Maintain a minimum of 1 inch (2.54 cm) free space around the device. Make sure
that Rad-87 loudspeaker is not covered to avoid a muffled alarm sound.
The Rad-87 should not be operated outside the following environmental conditions:

Configure the Rad-87 for your regional power line frequency (50 or 60 Hz) if needed. Default is 60 Hz
(standard for the United States). See Section 4, Operation, Setup menu Level 3, Line Frequency.
CAUTION:
• The instrument must be configured to match your local power line frequency
to allow for the cancellation of noise introduced by fluorescent lights and other
sources.
CAUTION:

power disruption.
