Connecting to Power

The HeartStart XLT is powered by the M3516A battery. Prior to inserting the battery, make sure that the battery is charged and has been properly main- tained (See “Battery Maintenance” on page 11-8). A fully charged battery will last for about two hours. A second spare charged battery should be kept in the carrying case at all times.

The HeartStart XLT can also be powered by the M3517A AC Power Module or the M3518A DC Power Module. However the defibrillator will take longer

to charge when powered by a power module, with the battery absent. The rec- 2 ommended practice when using a power module is to use the module in con- junction with a battery. For information on using the power modules, see the documentation supplied with the modules.

To save battery capacity, the HeartStart XLT shuts itself off if a patient is not being monitored and no one has interacted with the device for 10 minutes.

Inserting the Battery

To insert the battery, slide it into the battery receptacle as shown in Figure 2-6. Then push the battery in until you hear an audible click.
