BATTERY OPERATION
CAUTION: Recharging battery is strongly recommended when it has not been fully
recharged for 2 or more months.
CAUTION: When the voltage of the battery is very low, it is a possibility of not
operating.
Note: It is recommended that the monitor remain connected to AC power source when not
in use. This will ensure a fully charged battery whenever it is needed.
Note: As the battery is used and recharged over a period of time, the amount of time
between the onset of the low battery alarm and the instrument shut-off may become
shorter.

The monitor has an internal battery that can be used to power the monitor when AC
power source is not available. The battery status icon appears on the screen when the
