Introduction
Before the Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter can be used in a clinical setting, it needs to be
inspected, properly setup and the batteries need to be installed.

Preparation for monitoring
The following sections of the manual describe the preparation, set-up and initial installation
of the Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Rad-57 is powered by 4 “AA” alkaline batteries. Do not use any other type of batteries
or power source to run the device. The battery compartment is accessed from the back of
the device. To install the batteries first remove the battery cover by depressing the small
rectangular button at the bottom of the cover, and sliding the cover down off the bottom of
the device. Install the batteries in the directions indicated by the battery icons inside the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover by sliding it back up from the bottom of
the device until the rectangular locking button snaps back into position.
WARNING: USE ONLY ALKALINE BATTERIES. USE OF NON ALKALINE
BATTERIES MAY AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THE BATTERY LEVEL METER.
WARNING: USE OF BATTERIES WITH A CELL VOLTAGE OF MORE THAN 1.5V
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RAD-57.
Battery charge level is indicated by four LED indicators at the bottom of the front panel.
All four indicators will be lit when the batteries are full, with fewer indicators being lit as the
batteries lose their charge. When less than ten (10) percent battery life remains, the final
battery indicator will begin to flash and an audible alarm will sound.
