Battery Information
l
A fully charged battery should operate the power unit continuously for at least 24 hours.
l
Charge status is shown on the display of the power unit when it is in stand-by and run
mode.
l
As the batteries are automatically charged as required when the system is operating on
mains power, the battery module should not require removing or changing in normal use.
l
Use only the mains adapter or optional vehicle adaptor supplied with the system.
l
When power unit operation times when running from the internal battery are noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to replace the battery pack. Contact Talley or authorised
dealer for battery replacement service.
l
Never use any battery pack that is damaged or worn out. Use the battery pack only for its
intended purpose.
l
The battery pack is not serviceable and should be replaced if faulty (indicated by applicable
battery faults displayed in place of battery charge status icon). Contact Talley or authorised
dealer for battery replacement service.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
If not fully charged, the battery will automatically charge when the power unit is plugged into
a power source via the power adapter. The battery will charge whilst the vacuum power unit is
in standby or in run mode.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The battery is installed inside the unit and is not accessible by users. Battery replacement
should only be carried out by qualified service personnel. Contact Talley or authorised dealer
for battery replacement service.
Care and Maintenance
COVER
Always keep the cushion cover as clean as is practicable. The material is waterproof and
vapour permeable.
l
Inspect top cover for signs of damage or wear which could result in the contamination
of the interior, e.g. tears, holes, damage to seams or zips, underside staining, etc. The
frequency of these checks should be at each decontamination process, i.e. between
patients or patient occupancy (or weekly for longer term patients).
l
Care should be taken to avoid puncturing cover with objects such as needles, scalpels, pat
slides, acrylic nails, etc.
l
The cover may be removed and cleaned in accordance with The Revised Healthcare
Cleaning Manual June 2009 subject to the following action: Following the use of a
detergent and or disinfectant solution the cushion cover should be rinsed with clean
water using a clean cloth and allowed to dry.
l
Frequent or prolonged exposure to high concentrations of aggressive disinfectant solutions
will reduce the useful life of the cushion cover.
l
Where high concentration disinfectants e.g. > 10,000ppm chlorine releasing agent
(e.g. Haztab or bleach) or combined cleaning/chlorine releasing agent (e.g. Chlorcleam,
Actichlor) and detergent solutions are used to remove blood or other body fluids, cushions
should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any residues. This will help prevent
any possible long term compatibility issues associated with disinfectant residues.*
