21.4 Charging the Battery
To optimize performance, a fully (or nearly fully) discharged battery should be charged as soon as possible. The batteries
can be charged in either of the following methods:
1. Install the battery in the monitor and the monitor is connected with the external DC adapter or T1 docking station.
2. Install the battery in the monitor and the monitor is in use with a host monitor.
3. Use the battery charger specified by the equipment manufacturer.
For method 1 and 2, the battery is charged whenever the monitor is connected to an external power supply in
regardless of whether or not the monitor is currently turned on.
21.5 Conditioning the Battery
The performance of rechargeable batteries may deteriorate over time. You should condition the batteries every two
months.
Taking using the monitor as an example, to condition a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring procedures.
2. Turn off the monitor. Disconnect the monitor from the external power supply if DC adapter or T1 docking station is
connected.
3. Install the battery to be conditioned in the monitor. Connect the external power supply and allow the battery to be
charged uninterruptedly till it is fully charged.
4. Disconnect the external power supply. Remove the battery from the monitor. Keep the battery in room
temperature for two hours.
5. Allow the monitor to run from the battery until the battery is completely depleted and the monitor automatically
shuts off.
6. Fully charge the battery again for use or charge it to 40 – 60% for storage.
CAUTION

Do not use the monitor to monitor the patient during battery conditioning.

Do not interrupt battery conditioning.
You can also use the specified battery charger to condition a battery.
If the battery is not conditioned for a prolonged time, its charge indication may not be accurate and you may wrongly
evaluate the remaining battery runtime. Keeping the battery continuously fully charged without conditioning will speed
up battery aging and shorten its life time.
21.6 Checking Battery Performance
Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is used. When properly cared for, the lithium-ion
