BTS FREEEMG 100 RT probes are internally powered.

The Probe battery replacement can be done only by BTS qualified

personnel.

The probes are sealed to avoid the access to the internal circuit

components.

Batteries are equipped with battery protection circuit to:

-over-voltage, threshold 4.3V

-under-voltage, threshold 2.8V

- short-circuits

The specific characteristic of the Wireless probes equipped with the battery

are:

Quantity:

1 per each EMG probe

Technology:

lithium polymer (Li-Poly)

Removable:

NO, BTS technical service is required

appendix D
