Care for the Battery Pack
The Battery Pack in the eQuinox requires special care to assure a
longer life and the highest level of performance. The SeQual Battery
Pack is the only approved Battery Pack recommended for use with the
eQuinox. The following are generic guidelines for the Battery Pack:
• Avoid high temperatures
• Avoid cold temperatures
• Do not drop Battery Pack
• Do not jab objects into contacts
Battery Pack Cleaning:
Use a damp (not soaking wet) cloth or
sponge. First spray the cloth or sponge with a mild detergent and then
clean the Battery Pack case and the latch.
WARNING:
Exposing the Battery Pack to water or other liquids
may cause personal injury or harm.
DO NOT tamper with or try to repair the Battery Pack.
There are no serviceable parts inside.
Battery Pack Storage:
The Battery Pack should be stored in a cool
and dry location.
Note:
The patient can still use the eQuinox while calibrating
the Battery Pack.
Note:
• If the Battery Pack temperature rises above 45°C
(113°F), the Battery Pack will not charge.
• If the Battery Pack temperature rises above 75C
for the 12 Cell battery Pack and 60C for the 24 Cell
