Battery Care
Battery care begins when you receive a new IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device with built-in
battery and continues throughout the life of the device. The table below lists battery care activities and
when they should be performed.
Handling Precautions
Lithium ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package. Use caution when handling the
IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices with built-in battery; misuse or abuse could cause bodily
injury and/or property damage.
• Handle with care.
• Do not expose the device to liquids.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the device.
• Do not put device in autoclave.
• Damaged devices should not be used anymore.
WARNING
• Do not crush or puncture - mechanical abuse can lead to internal damage and internal short
circuits which may not be visible externally.
• Do not incinerate the devices or expose them to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Activity When to perform
