Power Testing Procedures
To verify that V*Home power sources are functioning properly:
1 Verify that the two removable, rechargeable batteries are properly installed in the V*Home battery wells.
2 Plug V*Home into a source of external power, such as a wall outlet.
3 With V*Home powered on, verify the following:
• V*Home operates.
• The charge status indicator light on the front of V*Home is lit (green or orange).
• The three battery icons on the V*Home touchscreen display a fully-charged status, or a lightning bolt
appears on one of the three battery icons to indicate charging.
• The external power icon ( ) appears in the status bar.
4 Disconnect V*Home from external power and verify:
• V*Home continues to operate on removable, rechargeable battery power.
• The medium-priority Battery Use alarm activates.
• The green external power indicator light on the front of V*Home is not lit.
• The two removable battery icons on the V*Home touchscreen display the charge status noted in the
previous step.
NOTE: The V*Home batteries will not charge when overheated. Battery overheating may occur when V*Home
is run at settings that consume maximum power, and/or when it is operated in conditions outside its top
environmental temperature range.
5 Disconnect the two removable batteries from V*Home and verify:
• V*Home continues to operate on internal battery power.
• The green external power indicator light on the front of V*Home is not lit.
NOTE: Periodically verify that the batteries are functional, and that the Internal Battery Low and Internal Battery
Critically Low alarms are functional, by disconnecting V*Home from external power until the batteries drain and
these alarms activate.
6 Reinstall the removable batteries, and plug V*Home into an external source of power. Keep V*Home plugged in
until all batteries are fully charged. The charge status indicator light on the front of V*Home will illuminate green
when all V*Home batteries are fully charged.
NOTE: Other steps in this checkout procedure may be performed while V*Home batteries are charging.
NOTE: V*Home battery icons on the touchscreen show the charge status of the batteries relative to when they were
new. As the batteries age, their capacity will diminish. Ventec Life Systems recommends replacing batteries when they
will no longer charge above 50%.
