Full Recharge Procedure
CAUTION
Low Battery” or “Empty Battery” alarm appears, the internal batter
must
recharged, as described belo
Continued usage of the battery after the “Empty Battery” alarm appears may
disable the battery’s charging capability and/or lead to battery failure. Ventilation

Charging it to capacity then allows for proper calibration of the battery
gauge.
To perform a full recharge procedure:
1. Plug the AC power cord into the ventilator. Verify that the amber Charge LED
is lit.
2. Allow the unit to charge for at least 10 hours.
NOTE If the Extended battery is in use, charge the unit for at least 24 hours
3. Switch on the ventilator. When the Weight Selection window appears, select
the 70kg patient weight setting.

5. Connect the ventilator with a patient circuit to the Rp20 resistor and test
lung.
6. Press Start on the ventilator (See page 59) for directions on starting the

7. Adjust the tidal volume (Vt) so that a PIP (peak inspiratory pressure) of 40 is
attained on each breath – for example, a value of 850.
8. Disconnect the power cord. The AC Disconnect alarm sounds and a pop-up
window appears. Press the red Silence button on the keypad to
remove the pop-up window and silence the alarm.
