The system can operate in battery mode during transport. The built-in rechargeable
battery automatically charges whenever the system is connected to line power. The
system automatically switches to battery operation when the AC line is disconnected.
Battery operation should be used only briefly or at very low flow rates because there is
no heating. The maximum flow rate is 50 ml/min. Full safety monitoring remains active.
The normal running time in battery operation is at least 30 minutes.
• Press the RECIRC key while the system is in the AC mode to preheat the fluid in
the reservoir chamber and main system fluid path.
• Unplug the system, the status line that displays temperature will be flashing
BATTERY NO HEATING to indicate the system is now in battery mode, the
maximum flow rate is 50 ml/min, and heating is suspended.
• Adjust the flow rate by pressing INFUSE RATE

ml/min or the maximum rate allowable under pressure control, Figure 9.
• When the system is plugged back to the AC outlet, the flow rate stays at 50
ml/min if the previous rate was greater than 50 ml/min. The system will return to
the previous rate if the previous rate was 50 ml/min or lower.
LOW BATTERY
• When the battery runs low, the system will display BATT LOW message and
sound an audible alarm. The system should be plugged into an AC outlet to
continue operation and charge the battery.
• The normal recharge time is 8 hours.
