Battery Replacement

For optimal performance, batteries should be replaced on an annual basis.

If the Apgar timer is to be removed from service or stored, the batteries must be 

removed.

The LCD flashing between the messages “Lo” and “Batt” indicates a low

battery condition, when this message appears, the batteries should be

replaced at the earliest opportunity.

To replace the batteries, remove the mounting bracket from the rear of the

timer using a 3/16

th

 inch Allen Key, then using a narrow blade screwdriver

release the battery cover. Remove the existing batteries and insert new ones (4 x AA/

LR6/MN1500 1.5V Alkaline), observing the correct polarity.

Depleted batteries should be disposed of as per local regulations.

Routine Maintenance

It is recommended that the Apgar timer be checked at least annually to

ensure correct performance.

Perform service checks as detailed on the Service Sheet overleaf. There

are no user serviceable parts inside: if the device does not meet the

specification please return it to Viamed for repair.
