NOMAD
5.0 Handset Replacement and Care
• Handsets must be charged before initial use. Alternate handsets each week to
maximise service life. Handset should be at least 2/3 charged for long term storage.
• After daily use, it is recommended to disconnect the Handset from the device housing
for overnight storage.
• Do not spray disinfectant or cleansers directly on to the handsets.
A Recharge Handset alarm on the display panel indicates
the need for a recharged handset. The NOMAD Pro 2
cannot emit X-rays with a low, depleted battery (insufficient
voltage). Follow these steps to clear the Recharge Handset
alarm.
 Press and release the Power button on the control
panel to turn off the NOMAD Pro 2.
 Place the NOMAD Pro 2 bottom up on a stable surface
and depress the release button on the housing, just behind
the handset, to release it from the housing.
 Slide the handset forward toward the backscatter shield
and the collimator cone.
 Carefully align a newly charged handset and, while avoiding possible pinch points
between the housing and the handset, slide it into place. A properly oriented handset
should snap into place without force. A clicking sound ensures that the handset is
fastened. Make sure the handset is secure by pushing it toward the cone.
IMPORTANT HANDSET CARE NOTES:
• Alternate handsets each week to maximize service life.
• Routinely change discharged handset with fully charged one as needed.
• Remove the handsets from the charging cradle once they are fully charged.
• Battery life is expected to be at least 2 years with proper care and maintenance.
• Batteries and Handsets may only be replaced with NOMAD Pro 2 Handsets.
• Battery charge will diminish during extended inactivity. Fully recharge handsets every
three months during inactivity. Never place a low charged battery into long-term
storage.
• To quickly check the charge level of a handset when it is not attached to the tube
head or charger, pull the trigger and watch the dark red window. A blinking light will
indicate the charge level from 1 (low) to 5 (high).
