Figure 2-7 Removing the Battery

Low Battery Warning

The message /RZ￿%DWWHU\ is displayed on the HeartStart XLT when the battery is low and needs recharging. This message indicates that the battery has suffi- cient remaining capacity to provide only about ten minutes of monitoring time and six shocks before the HeartStart XLT shuts off. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

If the power is off for less than 2 minutes, while you change the battery, the HeartStart XLT assumes that you are continuing to treat the same patient. It continues to store data on the Data Card and append events to the existing Event Summary. Alarms set prior to the power loss remain active.

If power remains off for more than 2 minutes, the HeartStart XLT assumes you are treating a different patient and assigns a new incident number. A new Event Summary begins with the next event.
