6. PREPARATION FOR USE
6.5. Battery operation
When the electrocardiograph is not plugged in, it is powered by battery.
When the device is switched on the “unknown level” icon is displayed until the actual battery level is
measured.
The device switches off automatically when the battery reaches the minimum allowed level. When the
device detects that the battery voltage has discharged almost to this point, the message "Battery depleted"
appears for 30 seconds before the device switches off automatically. During the shutdown the display turns
gray and the message “Battery depleted” is shown on the screen for 3 seconds.
If you try to switch on the electrocardiograph in battery mode when the battery is depleted, the device turns
on but the display turns gray and the message “Battery depleted” is shown on the screen. After 3 seconds
the device switches off automatically. Plug the unit in before turning the unit on again.
The battery symbol at the bottom right corner of the display indicates the battery charge level:
Battery fully charged (over 70% total capacity)
Battery charged (between 30% and 70% total capacity)
Battery low (less than 30% total capacity)
Battery depleted. The device initiates an automatic shutdown after at least 60 seconds.
The device will report a warning message on display.
Battery level unknown. Displayed when the application starts up while it is reading the
battery status.
NOTE: The first time it is used, the battery must still be fully charged, connecting the electrocardiograph to
the power supply.
NOTE: When the electrocardiograph is not working, it should be plugged in to charge the battery.
NOTE: if you use the device in battery mode, always remember to recharge the battery completely after use in
order to be sure that the unit is ready for use.
NOTE: The device should be connected to the mains using only the XP Power - AFM60US18 adaptor supplied.
