Installation: Unpacking and Preparation for Installation
Battery charging will take place as long as the
Monitor remains connected to an external AC
power source.
NOTE:
: To prolong the life of the battery, keep
the Monitor connected to a DC power
supply whenever possible. NEVER allow
the battery to become completely
discharged. A fully charged battery will
power the Monitor for approximately 5
hours. To ensure optimum operation
(full charge cycles), replace only with a recommended battery. If the
Monitor is to be stored for some time, first charge the battery and then
remove it and store it separately from the Monitor.
Unpacking and Preparation for Installation
1. Unpack and identify the contents of all shipping materials.
2. Remove the ProCare Monitor.
3. Unpack the AC cord.
4. Plug the AC cord into the AC Mains input at the back of the Monitor.
5. Plug the AC cord into a Hospital Grounded AC receptacle. The word
CHARGING will illuminate green on the front of the Monitor indicating that
an AC source is available.
Prior to usage it is necessary to charge the Monitor for 12 hours. This charge
calibrates the battery charging circuitry with the charge status of the battery.
