Battery Indicator and Messages

A low battery alarm INOP tone will sound and the flashing message “RECHARGE BATTERIES” will replace the battery gauge. Remaining monitoring time on the batteries is typically 15 minutes with new batteries at room temperature, 25°C.

The Silence/Reset key will silence the tone for 3 minutes.

When new batteries are inserted or the monitor is plugged into AC line power, the low battery condition will be cleared.

Alarm tones for patient alarms will have higher priority than the low battery INOP tone.

The battery fuel gauge will be replaced by the message “AC POWER ON” when the monitor is plugged into AC.

When the battery voltage cannot be read because of a hardware or battery malfunction, the fuel gauge will be replaced by a flashing message “HARDWARE MALFUNCTION” and an INOP alarm will

sound (even if the alarms are suspended.) The Silence/Reset key

will silence the tone for 3 minutes. The alarm will reoccur until the condition is corrected.
