Care and Maintenance
Storage
Important: Do not attempt to open or repair any simulator components. Doing so may void the
warranty. If damage exists, contact CAE Customer Service immediately for a repair. Prompt repair
prevents expansion of the damaged area.
Prior to storing the product:
• Make certain all fluids have been drained from the manikin.
• Charge the manikin batteries.
Store all equipment and the manikin:
• Indoors
• In a dry location
• Protected from dust
• Away from direct sunlight
• Within the temperature ranges listed in the Specifications section of this user guide.
Refer to the following short-term and long-term storage instructions for additional details.
Short-Term Storage
Follow these guidelines for short-term storage (less than two months):
• Store the manikin on a work table and cover with a sheet.
• For battery longevity, adhere to this storage guidance:
º Keep the simulator plugged in between training sessions due to a slow drain of the
battery that occurs.
º Under normal circumstances, unplugging the external DC power used for powering
and charging the simulator is not necessary because the charging stops when the
battery is full. A topping charge is only applied when the battery voltage drops to a
certain level.
º Keep the simulator and battery in a cool location to extend the life and capacity of the
battery both in storage and during use.
