Battery Operation
Revised October 2004 3800 Vital Signs Monitor Service Manual
4-1
4. Battery Operation
An internal lithium-ion battery allows the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor to be disconnected from
the wall power and use it for applications where mobility is required.
When the battery is fully charged, it provides for at least 5 hours of normal operation. When the
Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor is operating on battery power, a battery icon appears on the
normal screen. The battery icon is designed to give an approximate sense of how much battery life
is remaining.
Figure 4-1. Normal Screen Showing Battery Icon
When the battery is running out of charge, the battery icon starts to blink, a Low Battery alarm
message is displayed and an alarm tone is annunciated. When this happens, as little as five (5)
minutes of battery charge is remaining, and the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor should be
connected to a wall outlet in order to prevent a loss of patient monitoring.
When the battery power is too low to continue normal operation, the Escort M8 Vital Signs
Monitor display will go blank except the for message “Battery Nearly Depleted” and a constant
low-grade tone will be generated.
When the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor is reconnected to the wall power it will begin
recharging. Battery charging occurs regardless of whether the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor is
powered on. For every hour of battery use, it takes approximately one hour to recharge the
battery. A fully depleted battery takes approximately five (5) hours to fully recharge.
The green LED on the front of the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor indicates that the battery is
being charged. To determine when the battery is full charged, disconnect the battery from the wall
power and check the battery icon on the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor home screen.
The toggle switch on the back of the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor allows you to turn the Escort
M8 Vital Signs Monitor on and off.
See the Maintenance section for details on how to replace the battery.
WARNING -
Consult the safety instructions at the front of this manual regarding the
proper use and disposal of the battery.
