PROCEdURE 2. TROUBLESHOOT POWER ISSUES
If the instrument does not turn on, this is usually due to a dead or discharged battery and can be remedied
by replacing the dead battery with a charged battery.
When the battery charge is too low to allow normal operation (but not too low to permit operation of the
internal circuitry) the device displays the following message:
Battery charge level is too low for instrument operation. Recharge before next use.
In this case, the battery must be recharged or replaced with a charged one.
You may find that you need to exchange the battery more often over time due to normal loss of battery
capacity. For this reason, Verathon
®
recommends replacing the existing batteries with new batteries every
two years.
If the instrument has stopped responding even with a new battery, perform a full reset by removing and
reinserting the battery. If the instrument still does not respond, contact Verathon Customer Care.
PROCEdURE 3. INSTRUMENT TOO HOT
The AMI 9700 displays the message “Too hot” if the print head overheats. In this case, turn off the
AMI 9700 immediately. This condition may be the result of a paper jam.

Complete this procedure if the paper will not advance through the printer.
1. Open the printer door on the back of the console and clear the paper jam.
2. Ensure that the thermal paper is loaded correctly according to the instructions in the procedure Load the
