Step 3:
RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE: The battery pack cannot be overcharged. If the battery pack is in the battery charger cradle and the
battery pack is already fully charged, the charger will terminate the recharging process early. This will be
indicated by the solid green light on the charging cradle when charging is complete. Do not be concerned if
the battery pack is inadvertently charged more than once or kept on the charger cradle for a long period
of time.
When the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System needs a fully charged
battery pack, the following will occur:
1. The Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System LCD screen will indicate the
symbol for the low battery (See LCD Symbol Descriptions and Instructions Page 14). With the audio
alarm engaged, beeping will occur.
2. Only after the patient inserts a charged battery pack into the Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone
Growth Stimulator System will it indicate a
symbol.
Button Function
ALARM ON/OFF BUTTON
The Biomet
®
OrthoPak
®
Non-invasive Bone Growth Stimulator System is activated as soon as a charged
battery pack is inserted. The button located below the LCD display enables or disables the audible
alarm. During an alarm condition, depressing the button quickly (0.5 seconds) will temporarily disable
the audible alarm. Depressing the button for a longer period of time (3 seconds) will toggle the audible
alarm between enabled and disabled. Patients should be advised to leave the audible alarm enabled
as frequently as possible in order to assure the fully prescribed treatment. A speaker symbol will be
indicated on the LCD display when the alarm is enabled.
