32 Description
4.1.1 Power failure with inserted batteries
VitaGuard® automatically switches to battery mode when the exter-
nal power supply fails or the power adapter is disconnected. In this
event a technical alarm is permanently emitted until the power
supply has been reinstated or the <Esc> key pressed.
When the supply network LED is off, but you can still see the usual
monitor displays, VitaGuard® is being supplied by the batteries.
4.1.2 Power failure without batteries
VitaGuard® is fitted with an internal battery. This provides the volt-
age for an acoustic signal that is emitted when monitoring cannot be
continued during a power failure.
The acoustic alarm from the internal battery does not stop until
VitaGuard® has been switched back on after the power adapter has
been reconnected or batteries have been inserted.
A power failure jeopardizes monitoring when
the batteries in the VitaGuard® are nearly depleted or
no batteries have been inserted and VitaGuard® is disconnected
from the external power adapter.
To stop the power draw on the internal battery, it is important that
non-rechargeable batteries are inserted as quickly as possible or,
better, the power adapter is reconnected.
VitaGuard® must not be used for monitoring when the internal
battery is depleted. This status appears on the display.
A new internal battery can be installed at getemed AG only, so you
must continue monitoring with a replacement device until the inter-
nal battery has been displaced.
