CodeManagement Module Battery
The CodeManagement Module has an internal, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. When the
CodeManagement Module is properly connected to the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator and AC power,
the batteries in the defibrillator and CodeManagement Module both recharge. When the device is
disconnected from AC power, both the defibrillator and CodeManagement Module automatically
switch to battery power.
To ensure the CodeManagement Module is always ready for use, keep it plugged into an AC
outlet whenever possible.
Notes:
One power cord is used to power both the defibrillator and the CodeManagement Module.
If the battery in the CodeManagement Module is low and the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator is on,
the
CONNECT TO AC POWER message appears, and three beeps sound every 20 seconds.
A new, fully-charged battery for the CodeManagement Module provides 270 minutes of
continuous CO2 monitoring. Typically, a new, fully depleted battery recharges for 4 hours to
regain full capacity. The battery should be replaced every two years. Battery replacement must
be performed by qualified service personnel.
WARNING!
Possible CO2 monitoring shutdown.
When operating on battery power, adhere to recommended battery charging and replacement
intervals to prevent possible CO2 monitoring shutdown. If a CONNECT TO AC POWER
message appears on the monitor screen, immediately connect the AC power cord to an outlet.
