Operating Instructions
Before using the Biomet
®
EBI Bone Healing
System for the first time, the permanently
installed battery housed within the control unit
must be fully charged.
Step 1: Battery Charging
The Biomet
®
EBI Bone Healing System
operates on a lithium ion battery. Before
treating with the system, the patient must fully
charge the battery. At room temperatures,
(24°C [75°F]) charging may take up to three
and one-half hours.
Controller
A. Plug the AC Adapter into an AC wall outlet.
B. Connect the AC Wall Adapter to the
Controller. The orange light on the side
of the Controller will illuminate while in
charging mode.
C. Unplug the AC Wall Adapter from the wall
outlet and disconnect it from the Controller,
after charging is complete.
*NOTE: During battery charging, it is normal
for the controller to exhibit a moderate
increase in operating temperature. Once the
battery is at full capacity, battery charging
automatically stops and the controller will
return to an ambient state.
*NOTE: For battery charging and recharging
in countries outside the USA with different
power grid requirements, the plug blades
should be replaced on the charger adapter to
conform to local power grid requirements.
