Connecting to Power
2-12 Getting Started
Low Battery Warning
The message /R Z%DWWHU\ is displayed when the battery is low and needs
recharging. This message indicates that the battery has sufficient remaining
capacity to provide only about ten minutes of monitoring time and five shocks
before the Heartstream XL shuts off. Replace the battery or get access to AC
power as soon as possible.
If the power is off for less than 2 minutes, while you change the battery, the
Heartstream XL assumes that you are continuing to treat the same patient,
provided patient contact was established and the Event Summary was not
printed prior to turning the power off. It continues to store data on the Data
Card if being used and append events to the existing Event Summary. Alarms
set prior to the power loss remain active.
If power remains off for more than 2 minutes, the Heartstream XL assumes
you are treating a different patient and assigns a new incident number. A new
Event Summary begins when patient contact is made.
