19.8 Maintaining the Battery
19.8.1 Conditioning the Battery
The performance of a rechargeable battery deteriorates over time. You should condition
the batteries every three months.
If the battery is not conditioned for a prolonged time, its charge indication may not be
accurate and you may wrongly evaluate the remaining battery runtime.
To condition a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring
procedures.
2. Turn the monitor off. Install the battery to be conditioned.
3. Connect the monitor to AC power. Allow the battery to be charged uninterrupted
till it is fully charged.
4. Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it shuts off.
