1-14 Dash 2000 Patient Monitor Revision C
2005873-001
Battery Power
The monitor has a built-in battery pack to provide power to the monitor
whenever AC power is interrupted. The battery pack is composed of ten
nickel cadmium batteries. The battery pack is generally referred to as the
”battery.”
You must charge the battery before using it. There is no external charger.
The battery is charged when the monitor is connected to AC power. A fully
depleted battery will take 1 hour when the monitor is switched off, and up
to 3 hours when the monitor is switched on, to fully charge. To assure a
fully charged battery which is ready for use, we recommend that the
monitor be plugged into AC power whenever it is not in use.
Depending on usage, you can get 2 to 3 hours of battery power on a new,
fully-charged battery on a color monitor, and up to 4 hours on a
monochrome monitor. NBP and SpO2 monitoring and the usage of the
recorder will drain battery power faster than other parameters.
NOTE: A "Battery Low" message at the top of the screen and an audible
system alarm indicate 10 minutes of battery life remaining. You
should connect the monitor to an AC power source when the
message is displayed.
CAUTION
The battery discharges even when the device is not operating.
• Please ensure that the battery is always fully charged when
you are keeping the device in storage for an extended
period of time.
•
Check the battery status at least once every month and
recharge the battery (see "Environmental Specifications -->
Storage Conditions").
• Condition the battery every three months (see "Battery
Conditioning" below).
