Connecting to Power
The HeartStart XLT is powered by the M3516A battery. Pri or to inser ti ng the
battery, make sure that the battery is charged and has been properly main-
tained (See “Battery Maintenance” on page 11-8). A full y char ged bat tery wil l
last for about two hours. A second spare charged battery sho uld 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-
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.
NOTE 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.
