B30 Patient Monitor
2-12
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.
NOTE: Always use the B30 with batteries inserted. Otherwise all trend data and
temporary settings are lost if the power cable is detached from the mains.
NOTE: Before using the monitor for the first time, charge the batteries to their full
capacity. Charging time is two hours per battery pack.
The B30 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 below. 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.
If you wish to have the battery charge visible at all times, select it in one of the digit fields:

time is left for each battery separately both in numbers and as symbols, and the total charging

to order new batteries.
