Battery - General Safety Guidelines
The lithium ion rechargeable battery packs provides power to the Venue™ system whenever an AC
power source is not available.
Venue™ ultrasound scanner is supplied with two battery packs installed in the battery bay as standard.
Each battery pack includes three lithium ion batteries bounded in plastic enclosure.
The Venue™ has built-in charger functionality and switches automatically from battery operation to AC

vice versa
.
When shutting down the system, leave the main power cable connected to keep the battery fully charged.
NOTE:
Before removing or inserting the Battery, perform system shut-down and disconnect the AC power
cable from the Venue™ ultrasound scanner.

The lithium ion technology used in the system's battery is significantly less hazardous to the
environment than the lithium metal technology used in some other batteries.
