3.4 Installing the Batteries
You can use AA batteries or a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack to power the TM80.
The runtime is dependent on the battery configuration chosen. A lithium-ion battery
pack will provide the longest runtime. For details about the recommended AA batteries,
refer to "Miscellaneous" on page 18 - 5.
WARNING
• Insert the ECG lead set into the ECG connector. The following perfor-
mance may be affected by a weak connection:
â—† ECG signal quality
â—† Water resistance
• Do not use the ECG leadwire to move or lift the TM80. This may cause the
device to fall, which may damage the equipment or injure the patient.
NOTE
• Insert the SpO
2
cap in the SpO
2
connector when SpO
2
is not in use.
NOTE
• Always keep the battery compartment dry.
• The lithium-ion battery pack or AA battery tray should be placed in the
correct direction and should not be installed in reverse.
• Never use brute force to install the lithium-ion battery pack or AA bat-
tery tray. Otherwise the waterproof ring surrounding the battery frame
edge may be broken to affect the waterproof performance.
