Storage and Battery Care
If it becomes necessary to store the Monitor for an extended
period of time, first fully charge then remove the battery.
Then store the Monitor and the battery in the original
packaging materials.
Batteries should always be fully charged before being placed
in storage. Even after 6 months of storage, a fully charged
battery can retain about 80% of its charge. A fully charged
battery in good condition will provide sufficient power to
operate a Monitor for approximately 2 hours, including
temperature and BP measurements made at 5-minute
intervals.
It is best to keep the battery charged as fully as practical and
never store the Monitor with the battery in a discharged
condition. When the battery will no longer hold a charge,
remove and replace it with one of the same part number.
Failure to replace the battery with the same GE Medical
Systems Information Technologies part number may result in
shorter battery life.
To charge the battery, insert the plug from either the AC
mains power cord or the AC-DC power converter into an
appropriate AC outlet. The battery will charge regardless of
the position of any switches.
Battery charging will take place as long as the Monitor
remains connected to an external AC power source. A
battery that is fully discharged can be fully recharged in 1
hour 50 minutes when the Monitor is switched off or 8 hours
if the Monitor is switched on.
Cautions
• To ensure that the battery will be ready for portable
operation, keep the Monitor connected to a mains
supply whenever possible.
