Always observe the battery position and polarity as illustrated at the bottom of the
battery compartment. After battery installation, close and latch the compartment
cover. The transmitter begins transmitting as soon as the battery is in place.
Battery Disposal
Both the 90343 and 90347 Ultraview Digital Telemetry transmitters are operated
by 9-volt primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that must be properly disposed
when discharged. The batteries specified may be of either alkaline or lithium
chemistry. Attempting to recharge these batteries is not recommended and can
result in leaking, venting, or explosion.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommended handling procedure for both
types of batteries: Collect and transport the batteries in a manner that prevents
short circuit, compacting, mutilation, or any other physical abuse or electric
handling that would destroy their physical integrity. Exposure to high temperatures
or fire can cause the batteries to leak, vent, or explode.
Disposing of used batteries may be subject to national, state/provincial, and/or
local regulation, which varies depending on jurisdiction.
The recommended disposal procedure for alkaline batteries is to transport them to
a hazardous waste landfill. Since these batteries may not be classified as
hazardous waste, they may be transported to the disposal facility as non-
hazardous waste.
The recommended disposal procedure for lithium batteries is to transport them as
hazardous waste to a hazardous waste facility. If the batteries are physically
sound, disposal of these discharged batteries in a hazardous waste landfill may
be permissible. If the batteries are leaking, cracked, opened, vented, or otherwise
not physically sound, they must be transported to a qualified hazardous waste
facility.
Digital Telemetry Receiver Module
The 90478 telemetry receiver module plugs into a bedside, central, or transport
monitor, or into a digital telemetry module housing. The receiver module receives
patient vital signs data from the transmitter. This data is reconstructed by the
!
• Whenever the transmitter is not in use, the battery should be
removed. Insert a battery only when the transmitter is being
used with a patient.
• The LOW BATTERY message appears and an alarm tone
sounds (if LO BAT is set to ON) when the transmitter battery
voltage falls below 7.0 volts. When this message appears, the
transmitter has approximately three hours of operating time left,
depending on transmitter type, selected options, and the type of
battery.
• When the battery level falls below 7.0 volts, the low battery LED
on the transmitter will flash once every 15 seconds. When the
battery level falls below 6.0 volts, the low battery LED will flash
once every two seconds. When the battery level falls below 5.5
volts, the SpO

and NIBP functions will shutdown.
