3.1.2 Base Station Maintenance
Keep the exterior surface of the monitor and the base station clean, free of dust and
dirt.
Stop using the base station and contact the service personnel immediately if accidental
wetting occurs.
3.1.3 Transducer Maintenance
WARNING. The transducers must be cleaned before docking in the base
station after each use. Make sure that there is no residual coupling gel.
WARNING. The transducers are delicate and sensitive. Please handle
them with care and try to avoid dropping on to the ground or any hard
surfaces.
Although transducers are designed for durability, they should be handled with care.
Rough handling could damage the cover, piezoelectric crystals and mechanical
movement. Avoid contact with hard or sharp objects.
The transducers must be cleaned before docking in the base station after each use.
In case of unsuccessful charge or poor contact, please use detergent with abrasive
effect to rub the electrodes of the transducers in order to clear away the oxide of
coupling gel.
Charge and discharge the wireless transducer battery every 3 months.
3.1.4 Battery Maintenance
It is required to follow the instructions in this user manual during installation, storage
and maintenance of the battery.
When the battery is charged, used or stored, keep it away from objects or materials
with static electric charges.
The recommended charge temperature range is from 0 ºC ( +32 ºF) to +40 ºC ( +104
ºF). Do not exceed this range.
When not using battery for a long time, remove it from the system and store it in
a place with low humidity and low temperature. Batteries should be charged to a
maximum of 50% for storage.
Batteries have life cycles. If the time that the system uses the battery becomes much
shorter than usual, the battery life is at an end. Replace it with a new one the same as
the one provided or recommended by the manufacturer.
The performance of batteries may deteriorate over time. Maintaining the battery as
recommended can help to slow down this process.
The battery is designed for frequent recharging. A complete charging cycle is only
reached and counted, when all recharging periods equal a 100% charge (900 mAh
equal 8 hours continued operation).
