3.3.4 Conditioning the batteries

Condition the batteries regularly to maintain their useful life. Condition a battery every six
months or when the message 'Condition Battery x'' appears on the screen. Always observe the
messages and symbols on the screen to see the battery status. You can also check the status
through Monitor Setup - Battery Setup. Conditioning a battery is best done on an external
charger. If you do not have an external charger, proceed according to the following
instructions.
NOTE: You cannot condition batteries during patient monitoring. Always disconnect the
modules first.
1. Continue normal battery use until the green bar of a battery charge indicator is less than
3/4 of the full height. After this, remove the battery. Continue monitoring with one battery
until its charge is less than 3/4 of the full capacity.
2. Insert both batteries and connect the monitor to the power supply. The monitor starts
charging both batteries, and the capacity indicators scroll accordingly. Keep charging the
batteries until both capacity indicators are full height.
3. Continue charging for another two hours. After this, check that the orange battery LED in
the front panel is no longer on. If it is, continue charging until it goes off.
4. Disconnect the monitor from the power supply and leave it on until the batteries run out
and the monitor switches off. Wait for another 15 minutes.
5. Reconnect the monitor to the power supply and turn it on. Continue charging the
batteries until both capacity indicators are full height and no longer scrolling.
6. Keep charging for another two hours. After this, check that the orange battery LED in the
front panel is no longer on. If it is, continue charging until it goes off to indicate that the
battery conditioning is complete.
