2048723-002C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 3-3
Installation: Powering the monitor

Charge battery pack for 8 hours before first use or after prolonged periods
of storage.

If the monitor is idle for extended periods, it should be fully charged at least
once a month to ensure optimum performance. If the monitor is to be stored
for longer than one month, first charge the battery and then remove it and
store it separately from the monitor.

The battery pack should be charged before use, because a charged battery
loses charge when left in storage. Sealed lead-acid batteries can discharge
to less than 80% of charge within 60 days of storage. Charging is done
automatically by the monitor when the external DC power is connected.

The battery pack should be charged at room temperature: 16°C to 30°C
(59°F to 86°F).

You can charge or top-off
the battery pack at any time.
You should not wait until
battery is fully discharged.

To prolong the life of the
battery, keep the monitor
connected to a DC power
supply whenever possible.
Do not allow the battery to
become completely
discharged.

A fully charged battery will
power the monitor for
approximately 5-11 hours,
depending upon
configuration and usage.

To ensure full charge cycles, replace only with the specified battery.
BATTERY OK
When the monitor is operating on main battery power and the BATTERY LOW
alarm is not active, the BATTERY OK indicator is backlit green.

The low-priority BATTERY LOW alarm is issued.

The BATTERY LOW indicator illuminates.

This alarm can be acknowledged and cleared by pressing the Silence
button.

The BATTERY LOW alarm will re-alarm every 10 minutes after it has been
acknowledged.

If the alarm is not acknowledged, the alarm is re-issued every 8 seconds.

The monitor continues to operate normally.
