8 - 2 BP10 Operator’s Manual
8.1 Introduction
The BP10 can be powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery or AA alkaline batteries.
This chapter provides instructions on how to use, maintain, and dispose of the batteries.
8.2 Safety
• Keep the batteries out of children’s reach.
• Keep the batteries in their original package until you are ready to use them.
• Do install the lithium-ion battery pack or the AA battery frame to close the
battery compartment during defibrillation.
• Only use specified AA batteries or rechargeable lithium-ion battery to power
BP10. Other power supply may cause damage to the equipment or lead to
body injury.
• While installing AA batteries, do not apply reverse polarity.
• Only use recommended fresh AA batteries. Using other AA batteries can give
unacceptable performance such as running time and low battery alarm.
• Do not mix old and new AA batteries.
• Only use specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Unspecified lithium-ion
battery can give unacceptable performance.
• Use caution when handling the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Misuse or
abuse may cause bodily injury or device damage.
◆ Do not short circuit. Take care that the terminals do not contact metal or
other conductive materials during transport and storage.
◆ Do not crush, drop or puncture the battery. Mechanical abuse can lead to
internal damage and internal short circuits. If a battery has been dropped or
banged against a hard surface, whether damage is externally visible or not,
remove the battery from use and dispose of it properly.
◆ Do not incinerate batteries or expose them to temperatures above 60°C
(140°F).
• The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries should be charged in the specified
central charger.
• If a battery shows signs of damage or signs of leakage, replace it
immediately. Use caution in removing the battery. Avoid contact with skin.
Refer to qualified service personnel.
• Some failure conditions, such as short circuits, can cause a battery to
overheat during using. High temperature can cause burns to the patient or
user. If the device becomes too hot to touch, remove it from the patient and
