Installing or Replacing the Batteries
1. Turn over the oximeter so its back is
facing you.
2. Push on the thumb grip and slide the
door open.
3. If you are replacing the batteries,
remove the old batteries from the
battery compartment.
If the old batteries are disposable, be
sure to dispose of them in compli-
ance with your institution’s guide-
lines and local ordinances.
If the old batteries are rechargeable,
be sure to charge them right away so
they’ll be ready to use again as soon
as possible.
4. Install three batteries in the oximeter
battery compartment. Make sure the
batteries are installed in the proper
direction.
5. Slide the battery door closed, push-
ing firmly until it snaps into place.
