Low Battery Audible Alarm
If a low battery condition occurs the audible alarm can be silenced until power cycle by pressing the
Alarm Silence Button. Refer to Setup Menu Level 2 in this section to change setting.
If a low battery condition occurs while not monitoring a patient, a low priority audible alarm will sound
and can be silenced by pressing the Alarm Silence Button. The audible alarm is silenced until the
power is cycled or patient monitoring begins.While audible alarms are silenced, the first Battery
Level Indicator bar to the left flashes green, and the System Status Light flashes yellow to provide
a visual alert for the user.
When a low battery condition occurs, immediately discontinue patient monitoring and plug the Rad-
87 into AC power. The AC Power Indicator on the Rad-87 illuminates and remains illuminated while
the battery is charging, however, the Battery Charge Level Indicator does not illuminate. Once the
battery is fully charged all Battery Charge Level Indicators illuminate green when unplugged.
During normal patient monitoring, the Battery Charge Bars (Battery Charge Level Indicator) illuminate
green from left to right to indicate the approximate amount of battery charge when unplugged.
CAUTION:
• The battery should be adequately charged to ensure backup power in case of AC
power disruption.
Normal Patient Monitoring
When all optional parameters/measurements are installed, the Rad-87 displays Screen 1 containing
arterial oxygen saturation (%SpO

), pulse rate in beats per minute (BPM) and respiration rate
(RRa)*. By pressing the Display Button once, the display changes to show Screen 2 containing
perfusion index (PI), total arterial oxygen content (SpOC ml/dl)* and total hemoglobin (SpHb g/dl)*.
Pressing the Display Button again changes the display to show Screen 3 containing methemoglobin
(%SpMet)* and carboxyhemoglobin (%SpCO)* and Pleth Variability Index (PVI)*. An additional press
of the Display Button returns the display to Screen 1, the home display screen.
