3.3.4 Conditioning the batteries

Condition the batteries regularly to maintain their useful life. Condition a battery every six

months or when the message ‘Condition Battery x’‘ appears on the screen. Always observe the

messages and symbols on the screen to see the battery status. You can also check the status

through Monitor Setup - Battery Setup. Conditioning a battery is best done on an external

charger. If you do not have an external charger, proceed according to the following

instructions.

NOTE: You cannot condition batteries during patient monitoring. Always disconnect the

modules first.

1. Continue normal battery use until the green bar of a battery charge indicator is less than

3/4 of the full height. After this, remove the battery. Continue monitoring with one battery

until its charge is less than 3/4 of the full capacity.

2. Insert both batteries and connect the monitor to the power supply. The monitor starts

charging both batteries, and the capacity indicators scroll accordingly. Keep charging the

batteries until both capacity indicators are full height.

3. Continue charging for another two hours. After this, check that the orange battery LED in

the front panel is no longer on. If it is, continue charging until it goes off.

4. Disconnect the monitor from the power supply and leave it on until the batteries run out

and the monitor switches off. Wait for another 15 minutes.

5. Reconnect the monitor to the power supply and turn it on. Continue charging the

batteries until both capacity indicators are full height and no longer scrolling.

6. Keep charging for another two hours. After this, check that the orange battery LED in the

front panel is no longer on. If it is, continue charging until it goes off to indicate that the

battery conditioning is complete.
