The EMITT-TMU and RC Transmitter battery is a consumable item (with a one (1)
year manufacturer’s warranty); as with most batteries, Makita batteries have a finite
shelf life. After considerable use, a “used” battery’s capacity will drop to a point
that it will no longer be able to hold a charge.
The EMITT-TMU contains a low voltage disconnect feature that will automatically
shut the unit off when battery voltage drops to a certain level. If EMITT-TMU
stops operating, remove and recharge batteries or replace with fully charged
batteries.
Recharging the EMITT-TMU and RC Transmitter Batteries
1. Plug the Makita quick charger (Figure 3)
into a standard 110V wall outlet. This
charger can be found in the case for the
matching lower body simulator.
2. Slide the battery onto the quick charger
until firmly in place and the indicator
light illuminates (each battery takes
approximately 15-30 minutes to charge,
and depending on the amount of usage,
provides up to 4 hours of training
support).
3. Remove the battery when readout
indicates charging is complete.
NOTE:
A 220V Makita charger is available for International use. This is a special-
order item and available for purchase through TraumaFX® by contacting customer
support or your account representative.
General Use and Care of Batteries
All batteries used in TraumaFX products were specially selected to provide optimal
operational performance. However, as with all batteries, they will last longer with
proper care and maintenance. To preserve the life of the batteries, the following
best practices are recommended:
1. Only use the batteries and charger(s) provided by TraumaFX®; use of
different equipment may result in damage to the batteries and/or the
TraumaFX unit(s).
2. Remove all batteries from EMITT-TMU and the RC Transmitter at the
end of each training session. Batteries should never be stored inside a
unit (EMITT-TMU or RC Transmitter)
