2048723-002C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 1-7
Introduction: Safety information
WARNING
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals by directly 
connecting the metal terminals together. Be certain that no 
metal objects (e.g., coins, paper clips, etc.) touch both battery 
terminals simultaneously. Doing so can cause the battery to 
overheat and/or explode, resulting in possible caustic burns 
and/or battery damage.
WARNING
Do not use any battery other than a GE-recommended battery. 
Other batteries may not provide the same operating time and 
may cause unexpected monitor shutdown. Other batteries 
may be incompatible with the internal charger and may cause 
battery acid leakage, fire, or explosion.
WARNING
The battery will completely discharge if the monitor is stored 
for a prolonged period of time with the battery left inside and 
not periodically recharged. Configuration settings may be lost 
as a result.
WARNING
Charge the battery pack with the monitor’s internal charger 
only. Use of an unrecommended charger may cause battery 
fluid leakage, overheating of the battery, and possible 
explosion.
WARNING
The electromagnetic compatibility profile of the monitor may 
change if accessories other than those specified for use with 
the monitor are used. Please refer to the Accessories list 
provided with your monitor.
WARNING
Use only accessories approved for use with the monitor. Failure 
to use recommended accessories may result in inaccurate 
readings.
