5.6 Battery maintenance
Every battery pack is subject to wear, which means that the real capacity decreases a bit with every charge.
As this aging depends on many factors, this can be taken into consideration by the apparatus to a limited
extent only. For this reason, the battery should be maintained once year or when the operating period of
the appliance decreases in battery pack operation. Disconnect the apparatus from the patient, and operate
it without mains adapter until automatic shut down (apparatus will be switched off automatically; deactivate
global alarm). Subsequently plug in the mains adapter, and charge the unit for 24 hours without interruption.
Please keep in mind that the charging current has to be reduced at an ambient temperature of over
35° Celsius, and that the charging time thus increases.
If the operating period of the battery is too low after this process, we recommend to replace the battery
pack. Please get in touch with the manufacturer.
5.7 Information on how to handle battery packs
We recommend having the potentially required change of battery carried out by the manufacturer. If you
want to carry out the exchange yourself nonetheless, this may be done by a trained expert only. In this
respect, please get in touch with the manufacturer.
Dispose the battery pack as hazardous waste. The manufacturer may also ensure the disposal. Prior to
disposal, use adhesive strips or suitable other insulating material to cover the contacts so that they cannot
make direct contact to other objects, which could cause fires or explosions. The use of energy sources not
explicitly approved of for this apparatus may lead to damage and hazards.
