patient monitor applies a “wake-up” shot of current for up to 210
seconds.

The battery should now be “awake.”

If the “Batter y awake, run main code to charge ” message
appears but the battery is NOT awake, the battery may be in a
deep discharge state. You should repeat step 5 at least four more
times to give the battery additional “wake-up” shots of current.

the batteries. The patient monitor’s illuminated yellow-colored
CHARGING STATUS LED indicates that the battery is being
charged.
NOTE
The patient monitor will not charge the battery while it is
running the Boot Loader program.
