28Using Batteries
One Philips M4605A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery must be inserted into the battery compartment
on the right side of the monitor to use the MP5 monitor with battery power.
You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting
monitoring.
When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no battery data from the MP5 is visible on the host.
Battery INOPs, however, are displayed.
The battery normally recharges automatically when the monitor is connected to mains power.
Battery Power Indicators
The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP
messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the
remaining capacity in relation to the battery’s actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the
battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window.
