Chapter 12 Battery
12.1 General Description
This series of monitors have 1 rechargeable lithium battery installed to ensure its normal use in the event of power
shutdown. When connected to AC power, the monitor can recharge the battery whether powered on or not. As we
do not provide an external charger, the battery can only be recharged in the monitor. In event of sudden power
failure, the system will automatically activate the battery to power the monitor without interrupting operation.
When battery power is being used, the battery icon at the lower right corner of the LCD indicates the battery state.
: the battery power is full.
: when the battery power is in the middle, it indicates that the battery capacity is low and should be
recharged.
: the battery power will be used up soon. Please recharge it immediately.
Attention

Before operating the machine, please discharge and recharge the battery one time. Keep the
battery power full.

Please remove the battery before transportation of the monitor or if the monitor will be out of use for
a long time.

To ensure the length of power supply and extend the service life of the battery, it is recommended
using the battery at least once a month and recharge it only when the battery power is used up.

Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is used. For a properly
maintained and stored lithium-ion battery, its life expectancy is about 3 years. For more aggressive
use models, life expectancy can be less. We recommend replacing lithium-ion batteries every 3
years.

The operating time depends on the configuration and operation. For example, monitoring NIBP
repeatedly will also shorten the operating time of the batteries.
