Battery use
ATTENTION: observe the battery charge maintenance instructions.
Rechargeable batteries first use
The batteries of the I.on or I.on PRO are rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
Before the first use, the equipment must receive a full battery charge. For this, it
needs to be connected to the electric current for at least 8 hours.
To charge the battery, disconnect it from the I.on/I.on PRO and connect the charger
at the back of the battery and then connect it to the mains supply.
Time to battery full charge = 5 hours.
The device blocks any operation on the patient when connected to the electric
current.
Occasional use
Even when disconnected (stand-by), the I.on/I.on PRO executes internal routines
checking the status of the equipment. Despite of this procedure entailing a low power
consumption, the battery charge may be consumed.
Therefore, whenever the device is not connected to the mains for 8 months, it is
recommended to fully charge the battery (only for rechargeable batteries).If this
procedure is not performed, there is a risk of draining the battery and consequently
being unable to use the I.on/I.on PRO in its portable configuration (not connected to
the electric current).
Rechargeable batteries replacement
Every battery has a determined shelf life, which is the possible quantity of
full charge and discharge cycles, without loss of performance (see battery
specifications in chapter 8). When the device presents a drop in battery
performance, with low autonomy, please request a new unit from Instramed’s
technical assistance.
The battery can be withdrawn through the rear opening through a quick-release
system. Remove the old battery and replace the new battery, observing the correct
docking position.
Battery replacement is recommended every 02 (two) years or when the runtime is less
than 01 (one) hour.
