BATTERY POWER
The CARDELL Monitor is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. The battery is
charging whenever the monitor is plugged into the AC wall outlet. A Battery Power Visual
Indicator, located on the front panel, indicates the status condition of the monitor’s battery.
Batteries will self-discharge when they are not used. It is recommended that the battery be
maintained at full charge by leaving the monitor connected to the AC wall outlet whenever
possible.
The standard 7.2 Volt 3700 mAhr battery pack, when fully charged, is capable of taking 100
NIBP readings when the monitor is in the 5-minute Automatic Mode.
When the message "Low Batt" appears in the Message Window, at least thirty (30) minutes of
battery operation remain. The "Low Batt" message will alternate continuously with the “Ready”
message to indicate that the battery should be charged as soon as possible. Also, the monitor’s
front panel Battery Power Visual Indicator will change from Orange to Red and three (3) audio
“beeps” are heard every twenty-five (25) seconds.
WARNING:
Upon the detection of a Low Battery condition and if the battery is not charged by the user, the
monitor may no longer function as intended. The monitor should be plugged into an AC wall
outlet as soon as possible and the battery allowed to charge for four (4) hours.
When the "Dead Bat" message appears, the battery is no longer able to power a measurement.
The message "Dead Bat" is displayed continuously in the Message Window, the Battery Power
Visual Indicator is colored Red and three (3) audio “beeps” followed by two (2) audio “beeps”
once every ten (10) seconds are heard until the power is turned off.
WARNING:
Upon the detection of a Dead Battery condition and if the monitor is not turned off by the user,
the monitor shuts down and turns “OFF” after three (3) minutes of operations.
When either of these messages appears, it is necessary to recharge the battery. A depleted
battery may be fully recharged in four (4) hours. The monitor can be used to obtain
measurements while the battery is charging.
NOTE:
Using the monitor while charging may lengthen the time to restore battery charge.
NOTE:
During charging of the battery, the case may feel warm to the touch.
