5.0 Handset Replacement and Care
• Handsets must be charged before initial use! Alternate handsets each week to
maximize service life.
• Do not spray disinfectant or cleansers directly on to the handsets!
A Recharge Handset alarm on the display panel
indicates the need for a recharged handset. The
NOMAD Pro 2 cannot emit X-rays with a low,
depleted battery (insufficient voltage). Follow these
steps to clear the Recharge Handset alarm.
nPress and release the Power button on the
control panel to turn off the NOMAD Pro 2.
oPlace the NOMAD Pro 2 bottom up on a stable
surface and depress the release button on the
housing, just behind the handset, to release it from
the housing.
pSlide the handset forward toward the
backscatter shield and the collimator cone.
qCarefully align a newly charged handset and,
while avoiding possible pinch points between the housing and the handset, slide it into
place. A properly oriented handset should snap into place without force. A clicking sound
ensures that the handset is fastened. Make sure the handset is secure by pushing it toward
the cone.
IMPORTANT HANDSET CARE NOTES:
• Alternate handsets each week to maximize service life.
• Routinely change discharged handset with fully charged one as needed.
• Remove the handsets from the charging cradle once they are fully charged.
• Battery life is expected to be between 1-2 years or 200-300 charge/discharge cycles,
whichever occurs first.
• Battery charge will diminish during extended inactivity. Fully recharge handsets every
three months during inactivity. Never place a low charge battery into long-term
storage.
• Do not attempt to charge a handset with damaged batteries. Replace battery
immediately if there are any signs of deterioration or if batteries do not retain a
charge during normal operation.
• Risk of fire or explosion exists if batteries inside the handset are replaced by
unauthorized service personnel; do not use batteries from other sources.
• Properly dispose of spent or damaged handsets; return to Aribex or an authorized
distributor for replacement and recycling. Do not place in municipal waste stream.
