16.5 Cleaning the Battery and Battery Compartment
■ Clean the exterior surface of the lithium-ion battery and AA battery tray before
and after each new patient.
■ Wipe the lithium-ion battery, AA battery tray and the battery compartment using
a soft cloth with mild soap and water solution. Use caution to avoid the battery
contacts.
■ Wipe off all the cleaning solution with a dry cloth if necessary.
■ Allow the lithium-ion battery, AA battery tray and the battery compartment
completely dry before using.
CAUTION
• Clean the cables carefully to avoid breaking internal wires by excessive
bending, strain, or flexing.
• Do not autoclave, radiation or steam sterilize the cables and sensors.
• Extended exposure to Ethylene Oxide gas may shorten life of the cables,
leading to poor signal quality.
NOTE
• Refer to the individual instruction sheets that are packaged with the
accessories for additional information.
CAUTION
• Never immerse the lithium-ion battery, AA battery tray and AA batteries
in any fluids. Do not clean them with harsh chemicals such as acetone or
diluted bleach.
• As the battery compartment is not water proof, do not contact the
battery contacts when cleaning the battery compartment.
• Do not hook the battery contacts in the battery compartment with other
objects. Otherwise, the battery contacts may be distorted.
• Keep the battery compartment free away from any foreign objects.
