Charging the batteries
To charge the batteries, plug the cable from the Capsule Neuron power brick into the AC power
mains (wall socket).
To monitor the batteries during the charging process, check the battery information displayed on the
screen, and described in the Capsule document, Clinical User’s Guide for the Mobile Vitals Plus
application.
Removing a battery
Removing the main battery
Refer to the illustrations for Installing the main battery in the Capsule Neuron on page 11.
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to unscrew the two screws that hold the battery in place.
2. Pull the battery gently away from the Capsule Neuron to disconnect the battery from the pins.
3. Remove the battery.
Removing the extended battery
Refer to the illustrations for Installing the optional extended battery in the Capsule Neuron on
page 11.
1. To release the extended battery, push the locking button to the up position.
2. Slide the extended battery to the left.
3. Lift the battery out and away.
4. If desired, and if you have retained the faceplate, you can replace the faceplate on the empty
battery slot. Use a screwdriver and the screw that you removed when you installed the extended
battery.
Swapping a battery
To swap a charged battery in place of a discharged battery, or to swap a new replacement battery
for a depleted battery:
1. Make sure that the Capsule Neuron is plugged into the electrical mains outlet.
Alternatively, if you are working with both the main battery and an extended battery, make sure
that the battery that you are not replacing is charged and continues to supply power to the
Capsule Neuron at all times.
2. Remove the battery, as described above under Removing a battery.
3. Install the new battery, as described in “Installing the batteries in the Capsule Neuron” on
page 11.
Caution: Before you remove a battery, make sure that the Capsule Neuron is receiving power,
either from the electrical mains, or from at least one charged battery that is installed
in the Capsule Neuron.
