2036991-001C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 13-5
Battery: Disposal of Batteries
Battery charging will take place
as long as the monitor remains
connected to an external DC
power source.
 Charge battery pack for 12
hours before first use or
after prolonged periods of
storage.
 If the monitor is idle for
extended periods, it should
be fully charged at least
once a month to ensure
optimum performance.
 The battery pack should be
charged before use, because a charged battery loses charge when left in
storage. Sealed lead acid batteries can discharge to less than 80% of
charge within 60 days of storage. Charging is done automatically by the
monitor when the external DC power is connected.
 The battery pack should be charged at room temperature (59°F to 86°F;
16°C to 30°C).
 You can charge or top-off the battery pack at any time. You do not have to
wait until battery is fully discharged.
 To prolong the life of the battery, keep the monitor connected to a DC power
supply whenever possible. Do not allow the battery to become completely
discharged.
 A fully charged battery will power the monitor for approximately 8-11 hours,
depending upon configuration and usage.
 To ensure full charge cycles, replace only with a recommended battery.
 If the monitor is to be stored for some time, first charge the battery and then
remove it and store it separately from the monitor.
