POWERING UP THE DEVICE
The Bodyguardian Control Unit is powered through an internal battery. The
battery is rechargeable by means of the Bodyguardian Charging Cradle connected
to the mains trough the AC/DC power supply.
3.1 BATTERY CHARGING
While operating, if the Bodyguardian Control Unit detects that the battery level is
below a certain level (Low Battery Level as defined in the Preventice
Requirement Document) of the full capacity, LED 1 ( ) starts blinking with a
slow frequency, 1 second every 10 seconds, indicating that the device needs to be
recharged.
In this case, switch off Bodyguardian Control Unit and remove it from the strip
placed on the patient.
Additionally, if the Bodyguardian Control Unit detects that the battery level is
below a safety level (Critical Battery Level as defined in the Preventice
Requirement Document) of the full capacity, the Bodyguardian Control Unit starts
an automatic power off procedure to safely close the application and guarantee the
integration of the data sampled and stored up to that moment.
ATTENTION
If the device is not switched off manually by the user, when approaching a very low
battery level, the device will initiate an automatic power down procedures which
will allow uploading all the data acquired and safely switch off the device.
To recharge the Bodyguardian Control Unit place it on the Charging Cradle
according to the appropriate orientation (only one is possible due to the
mechanical constraints) and only after this operation connect the Charging Cradle
to the AC/DC Power supply and this last to the mains.
If the Bodyguardian Control Unit is properly placed and connected, the LED 1
( ) turns ON indicating that the device is charging. When the device battery
is fully charged the Led 1 turns OFF.
After the recharging operation is complete disconnect the AC/DC Power supply
from the mains and only after this operation remove the equipment from the
Charging Cradle.
