Taking care of the batteries
What you need to know
 There are two types of chargers: One with a touchscreen,
and one with indicator lights. You will receive one or the
other. Battery care and charging is the same with either type
of charger.
 You have two batteries so you can use one while charging
the other. Change and recharge batteries every 24 hours.
 Recharging the battery can take up to 16 hours.
 Place the charger in a safe place where you can leave it
plugged in. Keep the second battery in the charger while you
use the monitor.
 The battery and charger may get warm. This is normal.
Place the charger in a well ventilated place.
 Use only the batteries, charger, and power supply provided
with the LifeVest system.
 Remove the battery from the monitor whenever you’re not
wearing the device. For example, when you remove the
device to take a shower, remove the battery first, to ensure
the device is not active when you are not wearing it.
In the event of a power outage
If power is interrupted for any reason, you need to take steps to
keep your batteries charged.
 Notify your electric company to let them know you have a
medical device that needs power. Determine if they believe
the power will be out for 24 hours or more. If so, seek
alternatives for powering the batteries, such as a neighbor,
friend, or family member not affected by the outage.
 Notify your local emergency medical services and see if they
can help.
 Locate a source of backup power if possible, such as a
generator. Plug the battery charger into the backup power
and charge the spare battery continuously. Change the
batteries every 24 hours.
If help is not available, and you expect power to be out for more
than 24 hours, contact ZOLL immediately to have spare
batteries sent to you.
When the power is restored, plug in your charger as normal.
Continue charging and changing batteries every 24 hours.
