Manikin Setup
Battery Use
− Always use two SimMan3G batteries to power the manikin.
− Ensure that the batteries are properly connected.
− Charge the batteries regularly.
− Check LEDs on manikin’s power panel for battery status.
• Change both batteries before the battery charge drops below
15% or the battery light indicator is red. This can be monitored
in the technical status window on the Instructor PC.
• The manikin will automatically shut down if the battery
temperature rises above 60°C (140°F) or the remaining charge
falls below 6 % on one of the two batteries.
View Battery Status via Instructor Application
When the AC battery symbol in the <Technical status> window is
visible, the manikin is connected to an external power source.
When the manikin is battery powered, the battery life indicator
indicates the remaining battery life in minutes.
Changing batteries during a simulation session:
1 Press <Pause Session> on Instructor PC. Access the batteries
as described in Section: Manikin Setup Inserting and Connecting
Batteries .
2 Replace one battery at a time to avoid loss of simulation data.
Storage and transportation
− Never store fully charged batteries for longer than a month.
− Never store the batteries inside the manikin.
− Store batteries in a refrigerator i.e. temperature 0°C - 4°C
(32°F - 40°F).
− The two manikin batteries can be transported in the manikin
during air freight.
− When transporting spare batteries please contact the airline or
freight company for the latest transport regulations.
Battery maintenance
− On approximately every 30th charge cycle, drain the battery
completely before recharging. To drain the batteries run the
manikin on both batteries until automatic shutdown.
− Expected battery life: 200 charge cycles.
− Only replace with Laerdal SimMan3G batteries.
Other Battery Warnings
Warning: Do not run the manikin for more than 1 minute on a
single battery.
Warning: If both batteries are removed while the simulation is
paused, the manikin will shut down and simulation data will be
lost.
Warning: Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Warning: The external battery charger is for indoor use only.
Warning: The batteries should only be charged in temperatures
ranging from 0 °C - 40°C (32 °F - 104 °F)
Warning: Inserting and connecting batteries incorrectly, short
circuiting or exposure to fluids pose an explosion hazard.
Warning: Do not mistreat, disassemble or attempt to repair the
battery.
Warning: Do not use the batteries if they are visibly damaged,
malfunction or appear to leak electrolyte.
Warning: Take extreme care to avoid direct contact with electrolyte,
hot or smoking parts. In case of the above, disconnect and remove
the battery when it is judged safe to do so.
