Battery Maintenance
The uses a rechargeable battery containing lithium-ion cells. The battery contains an
integrated electronic fuel gauge and a safety protection circuit.
Because of the bias current needed to operate the integrated electronics, the battery
discharges even when it is not installed in the device. The rate at which it discharges
is dependent on the ambient temperature at which it is stored. The higher the
temperature, the more quickly it discharges. To prolong the battery’s charge when not
in use, store the battery in a cool, dry location.
A new, fully-charged battery should last for approximately 2 hours of normal
operation. An on-screen gauge indicates the condition and capacity of the battery’s
charge. (For more information on the battery gauge, refer to
“Front View” on page 27
and “System Errors” on page 133 .) When the gauge flashes amber, connect the MAC
system to AC power to charge the battery to full capacity.
As the battery ages, the full charge capacity of the battery degrades and is
permanently lost. As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available for
use is reduced. When the capacity is no longer sufficient for your daily operation,
you need to replace the battery.
Battery Safety
Observe the following warnings whenever handling the battery.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION OR FIRE — Using non-recommended batteries could result in
injury/burns to patients or users and may void the warranty.
Use only batteries recommended or manufactured by GE Healthcare.
WARNING:
PHYSICAL INJURY — Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions.
The liquid is caustic to eyes and skin.
If the liquid comes in contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, flush with clean water
and seek medical attention.
WARNING:
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD — Do NOT dispose of the battery by fire or burning.
Follow local environmental guidelines concerning disposal and recycling.
