Charging the rechargeable battery
!Warning
Do not use other external power adaptor than the one supplied by Micrel. In extreme cases
of electromagnetic interference, Alarm C-05 may arise. There is no special problem with the
pump, just follow the alarm handling instructions of this IFU.
!Warning
Always inspect the Rythmic™ Evolution pump and its accessories for damaged plastic
parts, wires and presence of liquids on its surface, prior to use. If the pump or accessories
are dropped, hit, subjected to excessive moisture and/ or beyond temperature limits,
immediately take it out of use and return it to authorized service department for inspection.
Micrel power adaptor will charge the built in Lithium Polymer battery while
powering the pump at the same time.
Charge the battery at least 3 hours, using the power adaptor, when Low or Dead
battery signal is displayed on the screen.
When the battery is fully charged the battery sign on
the top right corner on the screen will be full.
There is no danger of overcharging the battery. The charging cycle is an automatic
function performed by special circuit inside the pump. The power adaptor can be
used as frequently, and for as much time as needed for bedside use.
Care should be taken to fully charge the battery before portable use.
After full 3 hours charging, the pump has nominal autonomy for portable use.
Be aware that the nominal charging capacity of Lithium Polymer batteries
decreases along with the time and the number of recharging cycles.
After 300 charge / discharge cycles, Lithium Polymer battery capacity is reduced
by more than 30%.
