OXITEST PLUS 7 OPERATING MANUAL
3.15 Recharging the Battery
Oxitest Plus 7
is powered by an internal NiCad battery with sufficient capacity to provide
approximately 40 hours of operation. When the
Oxitest Plus 7
is OFF, the battery powers a non-
volatile memory which retains the test settings, the
ENA
able/
DIS
able status of the pulse oximeter
menu, and any
Pass/Fail
test results which may have been saved in memory. Power drain from the
battery in this case is negligible.
When the battery approaches full discharge, the STATUS display as shown in Section 3.8 Status
Indicator, will alternate with a
LO BATTERY
indication. To recharge the battery, plug the
supplied
AC adapter
into a wall outlet and the
Oxitest Plus 7
DC ADAPTOR input (see
Figure 2
).
Use
only the adaptor supplied with the
Oxitest Plus 7
to recharge the battery.
A full battery
recharge will require approximately 14 hours.
If the
Oxitest Plus 7
battery reaches full discharge during use, the unit will stop operating and the
message shown below will appear on the display. In this case, the
Oxitest Plus 7
should be
powered down and the battery given a full recharge as soon as possible.
*BATTERY DISCHARGED*
Recharge immediately
If the
Oxitest Plus 7
battery is near deep-discharge at power-up, the LCD will remain blank and
the
Low Battery
alarm LED on the front panel will illuminate (see
Figure 3
). The
Oxitest Plus 7
will not be operable in this case and should be powered down and the battery given a full recharge
prior to further use. A battery discharged to this level may require replacement or reconditioning to
ensure optimal portable operation of the unit.
Oxitest Plus 7
may also be powered with the supplied switch-mode AC adapter. Having the
Oxitest Plus 7
powered up will have no effect on the amount of time required to recharge the
battery.
Note:
Older
Oxitest Plus 7
units were supplied with linear AC adapters (refer to Section 1.15 for
replacement part numbers and serial number effectivity). For older model
Oxitest Plus 7
units, recharging the battery while powered up requires somewhat more time than with the
unit powered down.
Unless portable operation is not required, it is not recommended that
Oxitest Plus 7
be connected
to the AC Adapter continuously as this may reduce the life of the battery. The battery will maintain
its capacity longer if
Oxitest Plus 7
is routinely run until LO BATTERY is indicated on the
STATUS display and then fully recharged. All NiCad batteries, however, will degrade over time.
