3.10.6 Battery Operation
In the event of a power failure or interruption of power during a procedure, the monitor
automatically switches to back-up battery operation. A fully charged battery will provide
approximately 45 minutes of operation. When the system is running on battery, a battery
icon displays next to the BIS number, indicating the battery status. When the battery reaches
a low power condition, the monitor beeps and the battery symbol displayed on the screen
changes color from green to orange. In addition, a “Battery Voltage Low” message blinks
continuously in the Message area of the screen.
The Save Settings feature is disabled when the battery power is low. Battery recharge time is
approximately 6 hours. The battery charges continually as long as the unit is plugged into
A/C power.
Caution:
To completely remove power from the unit: put the monitor in Standby
mode, disconnect power cord from the power receptacle of the
monitor, then remove the battery from the monitor.
NOTE: The BIS VISTA monitor may not power up entirely if battery power is low.
If that should occur, connect unit to wall power and press the Reset button. (Refer to
Section 6.4 “Using the Reset Button.”)
