12.1.6 Maintaining the Battery
It is required to follow the instructions in this user manual during installation, storage and
maintenance of the battery.
When the battery is charged, used or stored, keep it away from objects or materials with static
electric charges.
The recommended charge temperature range is from 0 ºC (+32 ºF) to +40 ºC (+104 ºF). Do not
exceed this range.
When not using battery for an extended period, remove it from the monitor and store it in a place
with low humidity and low temperature.
Batteries have life cycles. If the time that the monitor uses the battery becomes much shorter than
usual, the battery life is at an end. Replace it with a new one the same as the one provided or
recommended by the manufacturer.

In order to avoid infection, clean and disinfect the monitor and accessories after each use.

using the monitor and contact the manufacturer for service immediately.

Acetaldehyde.
Clean the monitor enclosure with soft cloth and diluent non-caustic detergents recommended
above.

non-caustic detergents, different cleaners are not recommended and may stain the
monitor.

carefully to avoid damaging the monitor.
