Introduction
Batteries
9847V is powered by six AA size alkaline batteries. Approximate battery capacity:
• Pulse oximeter (SpO
2
) only: 90 hours
• CO
2
and pulse oximeter: 20 hours
• CO
2
only: 24 hours
The Low Battery indicator
is lit when the battery capacity is low. Replace the batteries as soon
as possible.
Critical battery capacity is indicated by:
• Low Battery indicator blinks
• Medium priority (equipment) alarm
To avoid loss of monitoring, batteries must be replaced immediately.
NOTE:
Audible high priority animal alarms override medium priority alarms.
If the batteries are critically low when the device is turned on, setup mode is disabled and the displays
are blank. Replace the batteries before continuing.
NOTE:
To conserve battery life, disconnect the CO
2
sensor when not in use.
NOTE:
Setting the month to “
00
” disables the calender and clock functions and helps conserve
battery life. Refer to “Calendar Settings” on page 23 for additional information.
Replacing Batteries
1. Slide open and remove the battery door on the bottom of the device.
2. Remove
all six
batteries.
3. Replace all six batteries with new AA size batteries (figure 3) with the proper battery
orientation noted on the back of the device (figure 4).
CAUTION:
Use only Nonin-specified battery types with this device.
WARNING: Before changing the batteries, make sure the device is off and the sensor
is not applied to the animal.
CAUTION:
The device is not designed to retain data in memory once the batteries
are removed. Memory will clear 60 seconds after removing the batteries. Replacing
the batteries before 60 seconds have elapsed most likely will result in corrupt data.
Always replace the batteries with fully charged batteries. Do not use fully charged
and partially charged batteries at the same time as this may cause batteries to leak.
