3. Preparation
1) Installing the Batteries
The LX-8300M functions with two “AA” size (“LR6” size) alkaline batteries.
The battery operation time of LX-8300M is as follows.
 When SpO
2
measurement is ON: Approximately 2.5 days (new batteries)
Conditions: When measuring ECG, RESP, SpO
2
with default settings,
operating temperature 23C
 When SpO
2
measurement is OFF: Approximately 6.5 days (new batteries)
Conditions: When measuring ECG, RESP with default settings, SpO
2
measurement OFF, operating temperature 23C
*Disconnecting the SpO
2
probe does not satisfy the above condition.
It is necessary to set the SpO
2
measurement to OFF. Refer to “Turning
OFF the SpO2 measurement“.
However, continuous operating time may be shorter than the above mentioned
time depending on the application of the SpO
2
probe (sensor).
WARNING
 Unplug the ECG lead cable when the battery compartment lid is opened.
Otherwise, patient leakage current beyond the allowable value may
occur.
 Use new "AA" size (“LR06” size) alkaline batteries.
 Do not short out the (+) and (-) terminals. It may result in exothermic
heat and fire, the leakage from the batteries may damage the
equipment, or an explosion from the batteries may occur.
 Install the batteries with the correct polarity.
 Do not charge alkaline batteries. Any attempt to charge the batteries
may cause them to leak or break.
 Do not use a disassembled or a damaged battery due to drop or shock.
The leakage from the batteries may damage the equipment, or an
explosion from the batteries may occur.
 Do not use different types of batteries at the same time. The leakage
from the batteries may damage the equipment, or an explosion from the
batteries may occur.
 Remove the exhausted batteries immediately. The leakage from the
batteries may damage the equipment, or an explosion from the batteries
may occur.
 If the equipment is not in use for a long period of time, remove the
batteries and store the equipment in an appropriate place. If the
batteries are left in the equipment for a long period of time, the leakage
from the batteries may damage the equipment or an explosion from the
batteries may occur.
 Make sure to replace the two batteries simultaneously. If a new and
used battery are mixed, a leakage from the batteries may damage the
equipment or an explosion from the batteries may occur.
