Maintenance and Inspection
Battery Operation
RespSense is designed to operate continuously when connected to a power outlet or on battery
power for approximately 8 hours. When RespSense
is disconnected from the outlet and is ON,
it automatically runs on battery.
Charging the Battery
The battery is rechargeable and charges itself whenever the monitor is connected to a power
outlet, even when the monitor is turned off. The green indicator
on the front panel of the
monitor indicates the battery is charging.
Always connect RespSense
to an outlet whenever it is not in use. Recharging a fully depleted
battery takes approximately 24 hours.
Checking Battery Capacity
The touch panel display shows a battery symbol indicating battery capacity. Approximate battery
capacity is defined by the battery symbols below:
A filled battery symbol indicates the monitor can be used for approximately 8 hours.
A depleted battery symbol indicates the battery has run out of power and needs
recharging immediately.
To check the battery’s capacity, time how long a fully charged battery is able to power the device.
When a fully charged battery only provides approximately 4 hours of operation, it needs to be
replaced. Contact Nonin Technical Service for battery replacement.
Low Battery Message
RespSense displays
BATT LOW
when the battery is almost depleted. This gives the operator
approximately 20 minutes of use, or time to plug in the monitor before it switches itself
off.
CAUTION:
Before first use and before storing this monitor, fully charge battery.
CAUTION:
If not continuous use, fully charge battery at six-month intervals.
CAUTION:
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at a temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or less as
this may result in significantly reduced battery life.
