Prior to storing the product:
• Make certain all fluids have been flushed and 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):
• Charge the manikin to 60 to 80% to increase shelf life.
• Store the manikin on a work table and cover with a sheet.
• Keep the manikin and battery in a cool location to extend the life and capacity of the
battery.
• For battery longevity, keep the simulator and battery in a cool location.
Long-Term Storage
Follow these guidelines for long-term storage (more than two months):
Always charge the battery before storage. Storing the battery discharged for months will likely
destroy the battery. Since the simulator consumes a small amount of power even when turned off, it
is best to charge the battery to 100% before storing the simulator for a month or two. Longer than
that, it would be wise to disconnect the battery. Follow the Battery Safety Information detailed in this
User Guide. Using a screwdriver, disconnect the batteries from the manikin to avoid overly drained
batteries.
Store the manikin in the container the simulator arrived in and refer to the Unpack and Repack Manual
(this document also was included when the simulator was shipped). Do not stand the container on its
side with the manikin stored inside for long periods of time.
Note: Prior to using the manikin again, ensure it reaches room temperature.
