Installing the Battery (Optional)
This section explains how to install and charge the optional internal battery (BTE-001 battery).
Installation
Installation of the battery should be performed by a Fukuda Denshi service representative. Contact your nearest service
representative to install the battery.
Cautions When Using the Battery
Take the following precautions when using the battery.
Battery Life
The battery can be charged and discharged (used) around 300 times. However, the battery life varies depending on how
frequently the battery is used and the charging and discharging pattern. If the battery runs out shortly after being charged, this
means that it has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced with a new battery.
Storing the Battery
If the device will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery from the device and store it. Make sure to install the
battery in the device and fully charge it once every three months. If left for a long period of time, the battery may self-discharge
to the point where it can no longer be used.
Avoid storing the battery in an area below 0°C or above 35°C.
• Make sure to remove the power cable before installing or replacing the battery.
Otherwise, the device will be damaged and an electric shock may occur.
• Contact Fukuda Denshi before installing or replacing the battery.
Incorrect handling may result in danger such as electric shock to the patient and operator.
• Do not throw the battery into fire.
If the battery is placed in fire, it may explode.
• The battery should be charged only with this device.
Otherwise, leakage, overheating or explosion may occur.
• Do not disassemble or remodel the battery.
If the battery breaks and the acid leaks onto the skin or clothing, wash it off with water immediately. If the
acid gets into the eyes, rinse with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not use the battery in any other device.
Otherwise, leakage, overheating or explosion may occur.
• Do not short-circuit the terminal.
Otherwise, leakage, overheating or explosion may occur.
• If charging is not completed after the prescribed charging time, stop charging the battery.
Otherwise, leakage, overheating or explosion may occur.
• Do not drop the battery or subject it to strong impact.
• Contact a specialist when disposing of the battery.
• Make sure to use the specified internal battery (BTE-001 battery).
Leakage, overheating or explosion may occur if a battery other than the specified battery is used.
