2.1.3
Cautions:
U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Refer to the section on disassembling and reassembling before attempting to
service the inside of the A-2000.
Carefully read the entire A-2000 Operating Manual before using the monitor in a
clinical setting.
Periodically check the battery by operating an A-2000 that has been disconnected
from the wall socket and which has been charging the battery for at least four
hours. After long periods of storage (e.g. > 1 month) it may be necessary to cycle
(discharge, then charge) the battery a few times to get full charge capacity. If the A-
2000 fails to operate reliably from the battery for twenty minutes, battery
replacement is required.
The A-2000 contains an internal Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery. The battery must be
removed by a qualified service technician and disposed of or recycled in
accordance with the national laws of the country. Contact Aspect Medical Systems,
Inc. or the local distributor for a replacement battery.
A burned out fuse usually indicates a serious problem with the electrical system of
the A-2000 unit. Call service before attempting to remove and replace a fuse.
If metal comes in contact with the battery terminals, permanent damage to the
battery and other connecting parts could result.
Do not autoclave the Digital Signal Converter or Monitor. Autoclaving will seriously
damage both components.
Do not submerge.
Do not block fan output. Keep at least three full inches of unobstructed space
between rear of instrument and wall and other instruments. Do not allow other
instruments to block airflow. Do not block ventilation inlet holes on the underside
of monitor.
