NOTE: When a lithium-ion battery becomes deeply discharged and the instrument is docked, it can take up to an hour for the
instrument display to indicate that the battery is charging.
CHARGING THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACKS
The lithium-ion battery packs are charged at the factory. As some or all of the charge may deplete before the monitor
arrives or is unpacked, it is recommended that the monitor be fully charged before first time use. The lithium-ion
equipped Ventis MX4 can be charged with any of the products listed below.
 DS2 Docking Station™ for Ventis MX4
 V-Cal™ Calibration Station
 V-Cal™ 6-Unit Calibration Station
 Single Unit Charger
 Single Unit Charger/Datalink
 6-Unit Charger
 Single Unit Automotive Charger, 12 VDC
 Single Unit Truck-Mount Charger, 12 VDC, with Cigarette Adapter
 Single Unit Truck-Mount Charger, 12 VDC, Hard Wired
NOTE: The above products are all equipped with a yellow LED “presence” indicator. This LED confirms that the monitor is properly seated
in the cradle such that the monitor can charge; however, it is NOT intended to be used as a charging indicator.
This LED indicator may go out intermittently during normal charging functions and will not light if the unit is fully charged when placed in the
cradle. Always refer to the monitor display’s battery level indicator to confirm the battery charge level.
The Single Unit Charger is generally shipped with the monitor. Equipped with a movable partition, which fits in each
of two dedicated slots, it charges the diffusion and aspirated monitors with their compatible lithium-ion battery packs.
Place the partition in the back slot for a diffusion or aspirated monitor with an Extended Range Li-ion battery pack.
Place the partition in the front slot to charge a diffusion monitor with a Li-ion battery pack.
Instructions
NOTICES
 Charge the monitor in an area known to be nonhazardous.
 When using the charger and adjusting its partition, take care NOT to touch the battery contacts located at
the front of the cradle bottom.
 The single unit charger has a universal power cord; change the plug insert, if needed, and plug into the
appropriate outlet.
 To properly adjust the partition, if needed, complete and observe the following.
o Lift up to remove from slot.
o Push down to place in the desired slot.
o When partition is inserted correctly, a click sounds.
Recommended Practice: To prevent the loss of the partition, it should always reside in the cradle in one of its two
dedicated slots. Choose the most used slot. Do not place the partition in the forward most compartment of the charger
where the battery contacts are located.
 To properly place the monitor in the charger, complete or observe the following.
o The monitor’s display side faces the user.
