■ IMPORTANT:The wireless unit contains a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack
that may require reformation after long-term storage. If, upon initial use,
you observe that the wireless unit does not hold a charge, reform the
battery. Refer to “Reforming the Wireless Unit Battery” below.
Reforming the Wireless Unit Battery
The wireless unit battery may require reformation after long-term storage. Reformation
restores the battery to normal operating condition. The process involves a series of charges
of progressively longer duration to activate the battery chemistry to its normal condition.
The duration of this process may vary depending on the state of the battery and may take as
long as 90 minutes.
If, upon initial use, you observe that the wireless unit does not hold a charge, perform the
following procedure to reform the battery.
Perform a series of charges as follows:
1 Charge the battery by plugging the charging
adapter into the charger receptacle on the front of
the wireless unit (as shown).
Ensure the other end of the charging adapter is plugged
into an AC power outlet.
Charging is indicated by a blinking CHARGING LED.
2 When the CHARGING LED illuminates steady green, unplug the charging
adapter from the wireless unit and wait approximately 30 seconds.
If, during charging, the CHARGING LED blinked for an hour or more before
changing to steady green, the reformation process is complete. The wireless unit is
ready for use.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 six consecutive times.
■
NOTE: Upon completion, the wireless unit will have approximately 30 continuous
minutes or more of charge capacity and will be ready for normal use. Charge
capacity will continue to increase with subsequent normal usage and charging
cycles.
Cleaning the Wireless Unit
Clean the wireless unit if dirt or blood is present, or as defined by your institution’s
infection control policies.
1 Clean the exterior of the unit using a cloth moistened with a 10% bleach
solution. Follow with a cloth moistened with water to remove residual bleach.
