Graph 2: Number of lifts vs. Lift load 

The  graph  above  (GRAPH  #2)  illustrates  the 
relationship  between  the  load  lifted  and  the 
number  of  lifts  that  can  be  done  with  one 
recharged battery. 

Do 

not 

drain 

the 

battery 

excessively. 

 

This 

will 

dramatically  reduce  the  battery 
life span. 

If  the  low  battery  buzzer  sounds,  be sure 

to  recharge  the  battery  as  soon  as 
possible. 

5.1  Charger Specifications #A8200 

• 

Hospital grade charger cord and plug. 

• 

Charger input: 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 0.5 A. (North 
America)/ 240 Vac, 50 Hz, 0.25 A European. 

5.2  Charging the Battery with 

Charger #A8200 

DO 

NOT 

OPERATE 

THE 

CHARGER 

UNIT 

WITH 

DAMAGED  CORD  OR  IF  THE 
UNIT  HAS  BEEN  DROPPED  OR 
DAMAGED. 

DO  NOT  forcibly  bend  the  power  cord  or 
place  a  heavy  object  on  it.    This  will 
damage  the  cord  and  may  cause  fire  or 
electrical shock. 

DO  NOT  pour  liquid  on  or  near  the 
charger. 

 

DO  NOT  place  the  unit  in 
locations that are: 

• 

Extremely hot 

• 

Dusty or dirty 

• 

Very humid 

• 

Moving or vibrating 

Do  not  attempt  to  put a  damaged  battery 
into a charger.  Inspect the battery first for 
dents or damage. 

The recharging steps should be as follows: 

(See step by step instructions) 

 

• 

Eject  the  battery  from  the  lift  unit  by  using 
the  "Battery  Eject  Button"  (1).  Keep  your 
hand  near  the  opening  to  catch  the  battery 
(2). 

Keep  one  hand  near  the  opening 
for  the  battery  (2)  before  pushing 
eject  button.    Do  not  allow  the 
battery to eject and fall. 

• 

Insert  the  battery  into  the  charger  (3)  with 
the silver contact points of the battery going 
into the charger. 

• 

The charging indicator light will illuminate red 
to  white  to  green  depending  on  the  battery 
drain.  If  the  light  does  not go  on,  check  the 
"Troubleshooting"  section  in  this  manual  for 
assistance. 

• 

If the battery is low, the light will show red or 
orange  when  you  place  the  battery  in  the 
charger.  The  light  will  gradually  turn  to  a 
white  or  yellow  color,  then  to  green  when 
fully charged. 

Whenever 

possible, 

leave 

the 

battery in the charger when the lift is 
not in use. 

At minimum, charge the battery until 
the light is green before using again. 
This  will  extend  the  life  of  the 
battery. 

• 

When  the  lift  is  needed  again,  pull  the 
battery out of the charger, and gently slide it 
back into the Voyager Portable lift. The silver 
contacts should be inside the lift. 

• 

The power cord can remain plugged into the 
wall  indefinitely,  convenient  for  overnight 
recharging.
