WARNING
PHYSICAL INJURY—Do NOT install the monitor above a patient.
The potential exists for a battery to leak a chemical on the patient if
the monitor is mounted above the patient.
Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. The
liquid is caustic to eyes and skin. If the liquid comes in contact with
eyes or skin, flush with clean water and seek medical attention.
NOTE
For optimal performance and safety, use only batteries supplied by GE.
One new, fully charged battery lasts about 3.5 hours. Two new, fully charged batteries
last about 5 hours.
The following terms are used to define the battery capacity:
Design capacity — The theoretical capacity of the battery cells when the battery
is new.
Full charge capacity — The actual amount of charge the battery can store and
deliver to the monitor.
Remaining charge capacity — The amount of full charge capacity currently
remaining in the battery. This is a percent of the full charge capacity.
The battery gauge for each battery displays on the screen when installed in the
monitor. The example shows a battery that has lost about 20 percent of its design
capacity and has about 50 percent remaining charge capacity (approximately 1.4
hours).
1
Filled (white) area — Remaining charge capacity.
2
Empty (black) area — Full charge capacity.
3
Dotted outline area — Design capacity.
If the message "ERROR" displays in the battery gauge, refer to
on page
A-10.
