Batteries
The monitor can be run either on mains power or batteries. Battery operation is initiated when
the power cord is disconnected or when the mains power is lost during monitoring.
The monitor has two lithium-ion batteries at most, located in the battery compartment. They
can be charged separately, and screen symbols and monitor frame LEDs indicate their
charging level and possible failure, see
"Battery indicators" . You can also check the battery
status through
Monitor Setup
- Battery Setup . The internal battery capacity is up to 4.5 hours
with fully charged batteries.
NOTE: When the monitor is battery powered, the green battery LED is on. When the
monitor is mains powered, the green mains LED is on. When the monitor is battery
charging, the orange battery LED is on.
If you wish to have the battery status visible at all times, select it in one of the digit fields:
Monitor Setup
- Screen Setup - Digit Fields - Battery . You can now see how much time is left
for each battery separately both in numbers and as symbols, and the total remaining time in
numbers.
Network
The monitor has been verified to be able to work in CARESCAPE TM Network and S/5 network
environments. Other network infrastructures are not supported.
