Message Window:
BATTERY EMPTY
Indicates that a minimum of 15 minutes of operating power remains in the
dual internal battery. An alternate power source must be located
immediately. This alarm can only be temporarily silenced as long as the
alarm condition continues. The alarm is reset when A.C. or external D.C.
power is connected to the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator.
The actual time remaining depends on the battery condition
and the ventilator settings used.
Frequent deep discharge of the dual internal battery will
decrease the amount of time the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator will
operate on battery power from a full charge state. Replace
the battery when battery operation time is insufficient for
application.
Immediately secure an external power source when the
Battery Empty alarm is violated. Charge the battery for a
minimum of 5 hours (~80% recharged) before powering
the ventilator again from the internal battery. If the battery
is completely depleted, it takes approximately 7 to 8 hours
to fully recharge.
If the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator is to be powered from the dual
internal battery for an extended period, ensure that the dual
internal battery is fully charged prior to use.
