This chapter outlines maintenance procedures for the MiniMate Plus including battery charging,
annual sensor calibration, and cleaning.
6.1. Battery Charging
The MiniMate Plus internal battery requires periodic and regular charging. To check the battery
charge, turn the MiniMate Plus on and read the battery level from the Main Window. If a number
appears in this window instead of the bars, charge the monitor immediately to avoid possible
battery damage. Keep the unit on charge when not in use, or charge and then disconnect the
battery if storing for prolonged periods of time.

WARNING: Do not allow the battery to become discharged and left in a discharged state for
any extended period of time. Allowing the battery to become discharged may
cause permanent damage to the battery. Always charge the monitor in a well
ventilated area.
To charge the battery, plug the AC adapter into the top connector located on the right–hand side
of the MiniMate Plus. Plug the other end into a 120 VAC 60 Hz electrical outlet. The battery
charging indicator light turns on. For electrical outlets other than 120 VAC 60 Hz, you must use
an optional power converter; see your dealer for more information.
All MiniMate Plus monitors use the DV-1250 AC adapter, provided with each monitor. The
adapter restricts the voltage and current to no more than 12 VDC at 500 mA. Voltage can increase
to 13.8 VDC without damaging the monitor. For example, an AC adapter with an output rating of
12 VDC at 1000 mA may be used as long as the voltage does not exceed 13.8 VDC for loads over
500 mA when used with a monitor. Check the manufacturer’s specifications carefully to ensure
the AC adapter does not exceed the maximum voltage and current specifications.
Use of AC adapters that exceed the maximum voltage and current specifications may cause undue
stress on the monitor’s internal regulators. Like all electronic devices, exceeding these
specifications increases the risk of damage and possibly of an accidental fire. Instantel’s warranty
does not cover this type of damage.
Instantel recommends using the DV-1250 AC adapter supplied with each monitor. Replacements
can be ordered from Instantel. A 220 VAC adapter (p/n TC50A) is also available from Instantel
for use with the DV-1250 110 VAC adapter.
