23.4 Checking Battery Performance
The performance of rechargeable batteries may deteriorate over time. Battery maintenance as
recommended here can help to slow down this process.
1. Disconnect the patient from the monitor and stop all monitoring and measurement.
2. Switch the monitor power on and charge the battery for more than 6 hours continuously.
3. Disconnect monitor from mains power and let the monitor run until there is no battery power
left and the monitor shuts off.
4. The running time of the battery reflects the battery performance.
If the running time is obviously less than the specified time in the specification, please change the
battery or contact the service personnel.
23.5 Recycling the Battery
When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be replaced. Remove the old battery from
the monitor and recycle it properly.
WARNING
