Caring for the Internal Battery
The LTV
®
Series ventilator uses a rechargeable, sealed lead acid internal battery.
To preserve maximum battery life:
• Fully recharge the battery every 2 months while the ventilator is in storage. Recharge the battery
by plugging the ventilator into an AC power source for 24 hours. If the battery Charge Status
LED is not illuminated green within 24 hours, or if it is illuminated red, immediately contact a
certified Pulmonetic Systems’ service technician or Pulmonetic Systems.
• Store the ventilator at temperatures less than 60°C (140°F).
CAUTION
Storage Temperature - Storing the LTV
®
Series ventilator at temperatures above 60°C (140°F) for
long periods can damage the internal battery and cause expected battery duration to degrade.
Internal Battery Use: The internal battery is intended for use during short periods while switching
between external power supply connections, emergency situations or short duration transports. The
length of time the ventilator will operate on internal power is a function of many factors such as
settings, charge level and condition or age of the battery; therefore, the use of the internal battery as
a standard operating practice is not recommended.
ATTENTION
Température d'entreposage - L'entreposage du ventilateur de la série LTV
®
à des températures
supérieures à 60° C (140° F) durant des périodes prolongées peut endommager la pile interne et
causer l'usure prématurée de la pile.
Utilisation de la batterie interne: La batterie interne est conçue pour être utilisée sur de courtes
périodes pendant la commutation entre des connexions d’alimentation externe, les situations
d’urgence ou les transports de courte durée. La durée pendant laquelle le ventilateur fonctionnera sur
l’alimentation interne dépend de plusieurs facteurs tels, la configuration, le niveau de la charge et la
condition ou l’âge de la batterie; l’utilisation de la batterie interne pour l'opération normale n’est donc
pas recommandée.
Battery Disposal
The LTV
®
Series ventilator uses sealed lead acid batteries. Some jurisdictions consider these
batteries hazardous materials subject to special disposal regulations. Contact the proper agency for
information on permissible methods of disposing of used batteries.
