The battery level of the Vcell can be checked by pressing ‘F’ once at any time during use.
One beep and a green LED will indicate that there is sufficient battery level power in the
Vcell.
One beep and an orange LED will indicate that the battery level is low and the Vcell
requires charging.
6.9.4 Restarting the Vpod and Vcell
Should the Vpod or Vcell be switched off (intentionally or unintentionally), the user is not
required to re-pair the devices as outlined in Table 1. The Vpod and Vcell retains the most
recent device pairing information. It is important that the user avoids switching devices off
unnecessarily during any monitoring period.
To restart the devices:
Vpod: Ensure fresh batteries are inserted and that the Vpod case is closed correctly (See
Section 6.5.1). The sounding of one beep indicates correct operation.
If two beeps are sounded within 30 seconds, the Vpod memory is full.
ECG data will send to the Vcell when both devices are in range again. If three beeps
are repeated after switching on, please see Section 14.0 “Troubleshooting Guide”
Vcell: If the Vcell has sufficient charge, it should be switched on again by pressing ‘D’.
Otherwise connect the device to the charger provided and press ‘D’ if required.

7.0 Transmission of Data
If any events are recorded in an area of limited cellular network signal, the system is equipped
to ensure that no data is lost if communications are restored before the devices are re-paired.
Up to 10 events may be stored on the Vcell device at any one time.
The cellular communications also support global roaming functionality, permitting the user to
move between countries without losing any of the benefits of the Vpatch System.
