Preparing the Telemetry Unit
The telemetry unit communicates with the access point by wireless transmission
(IEEE 802.11b compliant). The telemetry unit can also be directly connected to the
access point with an SC-101A Isolator. The isolator is useful when there is a lot of
radio frequency interference or to save battery power when the patient is sleeping.
The telemetry unit can operate on battery power with the following batteries
• CGR-B/242 lithium-ion (LiON) rechargeable battery ×1 (option)
• 006P 9V lithium battery ×1 (U9VL: recommended)
• 006P 9V alkaline battery ×1
Battery operation time (at surrounding temperature: 25°C (77°F))
• Lithium- ion rechargeable battery: 24 hours or more
(10 seconds intermittent transmission)
• 9V lithium battery: About 12 hours
• 9V alkaline battery: About 5 hours
The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be used for approximately 300 full
charging cycles. When the battery is charged more than 300 times, the battery
operation time may be reduced.
WARNING
• Keep the battery away from fire. Do not heat the battery. Otherwise,
the battery explodes.
• Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater. The battery heats
up and rusts and the battery liquid leaks out.
• Never use a battery which is damaged, discolored or has leakage. A
damaged battery explodes if used. If the battery is damaged and the
battery liquid contacts the eyes or skin, wash immediately and
thoroughly with water and see your physician. Never rub your eyes,
otherwise you may lose your eyesight.
• Never disassemble, modify or give impact to the battery. The battery
short-circuits and the battery liquid leaks out.
• Never short-circuit the + and – terminals on the battery with a wire.
• Do not leave the battery where patients can reach it. If a battery is
swallowed, see your physician immediately.
• Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or leave it in a high
temperature place. The lifetime of the battery may be shortened, the
performance of the battery may be degraded and the battery liquid
may leak out.
• Only charge the CGR-B/242 rechargeable lithium-ion battery with the
provided DE-158UA Battery Charger.
• Charge the battery at the surrounding temperatures of 10 to 40°C (50
to 104°F). If the battery is charged below 10°C or over 40°C, it may
leak or heat up. This may damage the battery.
