MAINTENANCE
1. Batteries
Should the BIOLOG 3000
i
not operate properly when turned ON, check
the battery polarity. Incorrect battery insertion may damage the unit.
Only alkaline AA (LR6) 1.5V batteries should be used in the BIOLOG
3000
i
. Do not use Rechargeable Nickel/Metal Hydride batteries with the
BIOLOG 3000
i
.
NOTE:
Please consult your local supplier for further details.
Without electrode contact (through the electrode feet or through the
patient cable), the BIOLOG 3000
i
will turn itself off automatically after
the period of time specified, (section 2.6.3 power down), to preserve
battery longevity.
In continuous use the batteries will last approximately for more than 10
hours with backlighting and more than 24 hours without backlighting.
To preserve battery life turn backlighting off when not needed and turn
unit off when not in use.
Remove batteries from the unit if not being used over a long period of
time, as they may leak and cause damage to the unit.
2. Electrodes
The contact electrode feet at the back of the BIOLOG 3000
i
are made of
high grade stainless steel and are corrosion resistant.
Wipe the electrode feet clean of gel or other residue after each use.
Residue left on the electrodes may affect the BIOLOG 3000
i
sensitivity.
