Application
Fig. 3-2 Charging unit and power supply and USB
cable
Fig 3-3 European plug for the battery charger,
international plugs are available on request.
Check that the voltage ratings on the nameplate of
the charging unit match those of your local power
line.
Connect the cable of the AC power adapter to the
charging unit and plug the AC power adapter into
the wall outlet.
Insert two or four rechargeable batteries into the
charging unit, observing the correct polarity.
Charging Batteries with the Charging Unit
To charge the NiMH batteries that are part of the PC-
system, follow the instructions given in the
accompanying manual for the battery charger.
Switching PHYSIO-PORT UP ON and OFF
The PHYSIO-PORT UP monitor has no power switch.
Switch the device on and off as follows:
To switch ON: Insert charged batteries OR
briefly press .
To switch OFF: Remove the batteries or press for 3
seconds.
Performance Check
When turned on, PHYSIO-PORT UP runs a self-test that
includes all symbols and segments on the LCD (Fig. 3-4).
Then it checks the batteries and indicates the remaining
capacity. "A 100", for instance, means that the
rechargeable batteries have a capacity of 100%, i.e., they
are fully charged. "b 50" means that the alkaline batteries
have a capacity of only 50%, i.e., they are half depleted.
The minimum battery capacity for a 24-hour measurement
is 90%.
If the capacity is below 90%, new or fully charged
batteries must be inserted.
BP monitors that have passed the self-test and completed
the battery test will indicate the following information:
the time of day,
the measuring phase (day / night ), and
whether data are stored in the BP monitor (
M
) (see
Fig. 3-5).
The BP monitor will also emit an audio signal if enabled.
