SETTING UP THE RESPONDER 2000
This section provides the basic set up information you need to prepare the Responder 2000 for operation and to connect
the optional monitoring accessories.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
The Responder 2000 uses a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is not shipped fully charged and it is
recommended that you charge the battery fully before using. With a new battery at room temperature, the Responder
2000 will first indicate "Low Battery" while there is still sufficient charge remaining to perform at least five (5) rescues. As
the battery ages, there will be progressively less operating time available before low battery warning, after low battery
warning before therapy inhibit, and after therapy inhibit before system shutdown. Operation at other than room
temperature, especially at low temperature, will also reduce battery capacity. It is recommended to recharge the battery
as soon as practical after the "Low Battery" indication. Always have immediate access to a fully charged, properly
maintained battery. Replace the battery or connect the Responder 2000 to AC power when the device displays a low
battery warning. The remaining capacity of the battery can be estimated by pressing the test button on the battery.
PRECAUTION: Storage of batteries at elevated temperatures will significantly reduce capacity. It is recommended that
batteries be stored and recharged only at room temperature, about 21°C. In any case, do not exceed 50°C.
NOTE: As the battery ages, it will discharge faster and there will be less operating time available before low
battery warning, therapy inhibit and system shutdown. Replace an aged battery to restore the operating time.
NOTE: When storing batteries for extended periods of time, store at 25-50% state of charge for best battery life.
NOTE: Battery state of charge will decline during storage. Be sure to charge the battery fully before using and
after storage.
TO INSTALL THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
1. Place the Responder 2000 onto a secure, level surface.
2. With the label uppermost and the connector facing inward, insert the battery in the slot on the left side of the
Responder 2000 as shown.
3. Push the battery in until the battery securing latch clicks into place.
