Warning!
If you witness a battery or the battery compartment starting to balloon, swell up,
smoke, or feel excessively hot, manually ventilate the patient, turn off the device,
disconnect external power, and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 minutes
and send the device for service. Never puncture or disassemble the battery packs or
cells.
Caution
Only use the power supply provided with the device. Use of any other power supply could cause
damage or create a fire and/or destroy the battery and ventilator.
Caution
Never attempt to completely discharge the battery by shorting it or some other method and never
ship the battery in a completely discharged state.
Caution
During continuous, uninterrupted use (> 100 hours), you should disconnect the ventilator from
AC power for 30 seconds to allow the battery to run diagnostics while the battery is discharging.
Note:
The ventilator continuously monitors the available power sources; occasionally a false
Low Priority power alarm can be triggered for approximately 1 second. These false
alarms immediately clear themselves.
When operating from battery always monitor the battery charge state via the battery icon that
provides both a graphical and numeric indication of the remaining battery power. The ventilator
monitors temperature and controls the charging and discharging of the battery under the
following conditions:
•
Up to 75 °C (167 °F) for discharging.
•
0 °C to 45° C (32 °F to 113 °F) for charging.
Best operating conditions are 15 °C to 40 °C (59 °F to 104 °F).
The battery rapidly recharges to 90% of its capacity in approximately 2 hours. It takes
approximately another 2 hours of trickle-charging to top off the battery to 100% of its capacity.
While in use, continuous connection to external power operates the ventilator and ensures a
fully charged battery. While off continuous connection to external powerfully charges the
battery.
Note:
When connected to power for an extended period of time (> 30 days), the device
indication may drop below 100% stored charge which allows the battery to perform
diagnostics. To reset, power cycle by removing and reconnecting the connection to
external power. Once this is done, the battery will recharge back to 100% in a few
minutes.
Note:
If when operating on battery power the device shuts down due to loss of power,
connect external power and power cycle the device to restore function.
