Changing the System Controller Battery Module
The HeartMate II System Controller battery module should last approximately one
year. It should be replaced when the yellow battery module symbol on the System
Controller keypad illuminates accompanied by one beep every four seconds:
1 Obtain a new System Controller battery module.
2 Examine the new battery module.You should see an orange O-ring around the
bottom of the module and a white tape around the sides. If the orange O-ring or
white tape are damaged or missing, do not use the battery module. Obtain a
new one.
3 Unscrew (counterclockwise) the current battery module from the bottom of the
System Controller and discard it.
The yellow battery module symbol will continue
to illuminate and an audio tone will sound.
4 Insert the new battery module into the System
Controller (
Figure 28 ).
5 Tighten (clockwise) the new battery module
until the orange O-ring is no longer visible.
Hand tighten only.
6 If the battery module is properly inserted, the
yellow battery module symbol and accompa-
nying audio tone will clear.
7 If the light and tone do not clear, try reinserting the battery module or repeat
the procedure with another new battery module.
