7.3 Use and Maintenance of the Rechargeable Battery
SOMNOmedics recommends the use of rechargeable batteries in the
SOMNOscreen™ plus. We
supply two Lithium-Ion (Li ION) rechargeable batteries with each system. The battery supplied offers a
long life (approximately 500 charges), is not susceptible to memory effects and is ecologically friendly.
Every charging cycle will is counted as a complete charge. It is therefore recommended to only charge
the batte
ry when the display status indicates “BATTERY LOW” or the power drops below
3.7 V. The current battery status in % can be viewed on the integrated display of the
SOMNOscreen™
plus under the
System
menu. See chapter 4.3.
At 3.7 Volts, it takes approximately 2.7 h to charge a fully flat battery. The battery is fully charged
when the red Charging LED on the charger turns off.
Never dispose of Li ION batteries in domestic waste. It is strictly forbidden to put
hazardous substances in domestic waste. Please return used batteries to your
distributor or hand them in at your local municipal collecting point.
Every charging cycle, even when the battery is almost full, will be counted as a
complete charge. It is therefore recommended to only charge the battery when the
display status indicates that the battery is low or the power drops below 3.7 volts.
Always use the battery charger (SCC052) supplied by SOMNOmedics!
Replace the battery for the internal clock every 3 years to ensure correct operation.
Contact your local distributor to arrange for a loan unit while the system is
returned to the factory for a complete factory test.
