Battery Safety Information
Warnings
• The battery compartment door must be closed during defibrillation.
• Use the Philips Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery or 3 Duracell Alkaline
batteries, size AA,
MN 1500, 1.5V, to ensure specified performance and
correct battery gauge reporting.
• Outdated, mismatched, or poor-quality batteries can give unacceptable
performance (e.g., insufficient Battery-Low warning time). If you are
using disposable batteries, the use of fresh high-quality alkaline
batteries is strongly recommended.
• Certain failure conditions, such as short circuits, can cause a battery to
overheat during use. High temperatures can cause burns to the patient
and/or user. If the MX40 becomes hot to the touch, remove it from the
patient and place it aside until it cools. Then remove the batteries and
discard them.
• If you receive a TELE BATTERY LOW, TELE BATT EMPTY, REPLACE
TELE BATT, or TELE BATTERY TEMP alarm, the batteries must be
promptly replaced. If these conditions are not corrected, they will result
in a device shutdown and cessation of monitoring. These INOPS also
apply when monitoring with Cableless Measurements.
• Disposable batteries should be removed from the MX40 at the end of
the battery’s useful life to prevent leakage.
• Use only the Philips manufactured Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery.
• Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries. Other types of
rechargeable batteries will adversely affect:
- Battery gauge performance
- Battery low warnings
- Battery life performance
