Battery Maintenance
15.5.1
Conditioning a Battery
A battery should be conditioned before it is used for the first time. A battery conditioning
cycle is one uninterrupted charge of the battery, followed by an uninterrupted battery
discharge and charge. Batteries should be conditioned regularly to maintain their useful
life.
To condition a battery, follow this procedure:
1.
Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
2.
Insert the battery in need of conditioning into the battery slot of the monitor.
3.
Connect the monitor to AC power. Allow the battery to be charged uninterrupted till
the battery is full and the battery indicator is off.
4.
Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it shuts off.
5.
Again connect the monitor to AC power. Allow the battery to be charged
uninterruptedly till the battery is full and the battery indicator is off.
NOTE
The actual battery capacity will decrease over time with use of batteries. For old
batteries, the full capacity battery symbol does not indicate the capacity and
operating time of this battery can still fulfill battery specifications in the
operator’s manual. Please replace the battery if its operating time is
significantly lower than the specified time.

Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
