TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 4-1
Basic Operations
Getting Started
Device setup must be performed before patient application and, on appropriate units, the LCD should
be visually verified to function before use on a patient.
Transmitter Batteries
When batteries are installed, the transmitter is continuously ON. If no batteries are installed, the
transmitter is OFF. To extend battery life, insert batteries only to use the transmitter with a patient.
Remove the batteries when the transmitter is not in use.
Spacelabs Healthcare recommends two AA 1.5-volt alkaline batteries for standard use in the digital
telemetry transmitter for a battery source of 3 volts. Alternatively, you may use two AA-equivalent 2400
mAH NiMH rechargeable batteries.
Check the battery position and polarity, as shown at the bottom of the battery compartment on the
device. After battery installation, close and latch the compartment cover. Transmission of telemetry
signals begin as soon as the battery is in place.
Refer to
Battery Compartment (96281-A, 96281-B, 96281-C) on page 4-7 for details on battery
compartment labels and components.
Warnings:
• Batteries exposed to short circuit, high temperature, or fire may leak, vent, or explode.
• Do not use any transmitter that has been compromised by liquid ingress.
• Do not allow any liquid to enter the case. An open battery compartment is not fluid
resistant.
• Users should inspect batteries before using them within the transmitter- do not use
any batteries that appear to be damaged or have been subject to misuse.
• Do not attempt to use depleted batteries or mix different types of batteries. Doing so
may result in the telemetry transmitter being unable to accurately determine the
battery condition and prevent the transmitter from working properly. If the battery
low indicator flashes as soon as batteries are inserted, then they are too depleted to
be used and the transmitter will not work properly. Replace with new or fully-charged
batteries immediately.
Cautions:
• Obey the battery manufacturer’s recommended handling procedure.
• Collect and transport batteries in a manner that prevents short circuit, compacting,
mutilation, or any other abuse that would compromise the physical integrity.
