First Time Battery Charge
Charge the battery before using the IMD for the first time until the Power
Button/Status LED of the IMD shows steady green. While charging, the
Power Button/Status LED shows green and blinks quickly.
The IMD Cradle charges the battery most effectively when it is at room
temperature [approx. 68°F (20°C)]. Battery charging temperature range is
32°F
to 95°F
(0
°
C to 35
°
C).
Routine Battery Charge
A battery is charged to 90% of its full capacity after approximately three
and a half hours. The battery is fully charged after four hours. During the
charge, the Power Button/Status LED shows steady red and turns green
when charging is completed.
Important:
The battery will not charge if the IMD is not properly docked
inside the IMD Cradle.
Battery Maintenance
The performance of the rechargeable battery delivered with the IMD
depends on the way the battery is treated. Therefore, to comply with

Battery Storage
Do not store the battery where the temperatures exceed 140
°F
(60
°
C) or
fall below -4°F
(-20
°
C).
Batteries that have never been charged before may be stored for up to 3
months in well-ventilated, cool and dry areas without significant loss in
