1.3 Charging the Handsets
• 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!
• It is recommended to fully recharge handsets every three months while in long-term
storage to ensure that no low battery becomes damaged.
nUse only the supplied AC/DC power supply (or other
Aribex-supplied cord set). Unwrap the power cord of the
power supply and connect it to the charging cradle, then to
an AC electrical outlet (universal voltage accommodated).
The single green circle on the charging indicator will
illuminate green if there is adequate power to the charging
cradle. If the green circle does not illuminate, the charging
cradle is not receiving adequate power and may need to
be sent to an Aribex authorized service center for repairs.
Position the charging cradle away from the normal patient environment. A plug adapter
may be needed to accommodate the local AC configuration.
oInvert one of the handsets and carefully slide it onto the charging cradle (do not force
the handset onto the charging cradle or damage may result). Expect charge time to be less
than three hours. The handset, charging cradle, and AC power supply may become warm
to the touch while charging.
pWhen the handset is first slid onto the charging
cradle, the first bar will illuminate green for approximately
two seconds to indicate that the cradle and handset are
communicating. If the first bar illuminates green, but then
all of the bars illuminate red, the charging cradle and/or
handset will need to be sent to an Aribex authorized service
center for repairs or replacement. Authorized service will
also be required if no illumination occurs upon sliding the
handset onto the charging cradle.
q After illuminating green, the first bar will begin flashing to indicate that charging has
begun. When the first bar turns solid green, the handset is 1/3 charged, and the second
bar will begin flashing green. When the second bar turns solid green, the handset is 2/3
charged, and the third bar will begin flashing green. Once the third bar turns solid green,
the handset is fully charged. Remove the handset from the charging cradle once it is
fully charged.
