2048723-002C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 1-7
Introduction: Safety information
WARNING
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals by directly
connecting the metal terminals together. Be certain that no
metal objects (e.g., coins, paper clips, etc.) touch both battery
terminals simultaneously. Doing so can cause the battery to
overheat and/or explode, resulting in possible caustic burns
and/or battery damage.
WARNING
Do not use any battery other than a GE-recommended battery.
Other batteries may not provide the same operating time and
may cause unexpected monitor shutdown. Other batteries
may be incompatible with the internal charger and may cause
battery acid leakage, fire, or explosion.
WARNING
The battery will completely discharge if the monitor is stored
for a prolonged period of time with the battery left inside and
not periodically recharged. Configuration settings may be lost
as a result.
WARNING
Charge the battery pack with the monitor’s internal charger
only. Use of an unrecommended charger may cause battery
fluid leakage, overheating of the battery, and possible
explosion.
WARNING
The electromagnetic compatibility profile of the monitor may
change if accessories other than those specified for use with
the monitor are used. Please refer to the Accessories list
provided with your monitor.
WARNING
Use only accessories approved for use with the monitor. Failure
to use recommended accessories may result in inaccurate
readings.
