Connecting the Power Cord
The Oximeter ships with a hospital-grade power cord as
appropriate for the country and voltage being used.
1.
Connect the female end of the cord to the power
receptacle on the rear of the Oximeter (Figure 7).
2.
Connect the male end of the cord to mains power.
The AC Charge indicator (
) next to the power switch
(Figure 8) on the front of the unit turns green when the
Oximeter is receiving power and charging the battery.
Warning:
Grounding reliability can be achieved only when the Oximeter is connected to
an equivalent receptacle marked “Hospital Grade”. See
Electrical Connections
on page 8 for additional warnings.
3.
Allow the battery to charge for six hours.
4.
Disconnect the AC power cord.
5.
Press the
power switch on the front of the Oximeter (Figure 8) and verify the Oximeter
will power on with the Battery installed.
6.
Reconnect the AC power cord to the Oximeter.
Caution:
To maintain proper battery charge, plug the Oximeter into main power when not
in use. Failure to do so may diminish the service life and function of the battery.
Turning the Oximeter On and Off
As long as the battery is sufficiently charged, the Oximeter will
turn on regardless of whether it is connected to AC power. The
Oximeter can be turned on either before or after cables and
Sensors are connected.
•
Press the
power switch to turn on the Oximeter
(Figure 8).
The Oximeter powers up within a few seconds, the fan
starts, and a splash screen appears while the software
initializes and runs diagnostics. The main screen
(see
Reading the Oximeter Display
on page 29) appears
when the Oximeter is ready for normal operation.
•
Press the
power switch again for one second to turn off
the Oximeter.
