Charging Lithium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
The li-ion rechargeable battery is recharged using the IntelliVue CL
Charging Station. In order to meet the published battery life specifications,
the battery should be fully charge before use.
Battery management is very important to ensure that when a fully charged
battery is needed, one is available. Recharging a discharged battery can take
up to 6.5 hours.
To charge a battery, place it onto a charger slot on the charging station. The
battery power indicators will supply information about the charge status.
Warning
• Always use the supplied power cord with the grounded mains plug to
connect the charging station to a grounded AC mains socket. Never
adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an ungrounded AC
mains socket.
• Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple socket outlets. If a
multiple portable socket outlet without an approved isolation
transformer is used, the interruption of its protective grounding may
result in leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual ground
leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits.
• Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of the system.
Battery Power Indicators
There are various indications which help you keep track of the battery
power status.
• LEDs on the charging station slots
• battery status information on both the MX40 and the charging station's
display, and at the Information Center
• INOP messages
The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the
battery's actual maximum capacity which may lessen as the battery ages.
