4. Getting Started
Packaging can be fully recycled, or reused.
During manufacture the base moulding and front panel are protected by a
thin plastic film. The film, indicated with the symbol illustrated, should be
removed during commissioning.
On receipt, or after periods of storage, the AT4 must be cleaned and disinfected before
being put into clinical use.
4.1. Fitting the Fuse and Charging the Battery
For safety, the AT4 is shipped without the batteries being operational; the fuse is removed
during final inspection. The unit will have been supplied with a T3.15A fuse in a clear
plastic bag with the operating instructions; this needs to be fitted during commissioning.
Lay the AT4 on its back, and fit the fuse in the fuse holder indicated by the fuse symbol
on the underside of the AT4.
On receipt, or after periods of storage, the AT4 must be connected to the mains electricity
supply with the cable provided for 24 hours to allow the battery to be charged.
When fully charged the AT4 may be disconnected from the mains, and operated from the
battery, avoiding the requirements for mains cable in the surgical area. The AT4 may also
be operated while connected to the mains if the battery is low.
When not in use it is recommended that the AT4 be left connected to the mains to ensure
that the battery is fully charged and ready for use.
4.2. Connecting, and Storing, the Cuff Hoses
The AT4 will have been supplied with Red and Blue cuff hoses. These should be connected
to the connections on the front of the AT4 and below the appropriate red or blue
segment of the front panel. There are two connections to pressurise the cuff, and two
connections which are for stowage of the cuff end of the hose when not in use.
