Equipment Symbols
Some of t he following symbols appea r on t he equip men t.

ATTENTION: Consult accompanying documents before using the equipment.

In Europe, this symbol means dangerous or high voltage. In the United States, this symbol
represents the caution notice below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT remove cover (or back). Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.

Defibrillator-proof type CF equipment; type CF equipment is specifically designed for

applications where a conductive connection directly to the heart is established. The paddles
indicate the equipment is defibrillator proof.

Defibrillator-proof type BF equipment; type BF equipment is suitable for intentional external

and internal application to the patient, excluding direct cardiac application. Type BF
equipment is type B equipment with an F-type isolated (floating) part. The paddles indicate
the equipment is defibrillator proof.

 Maintenance: Lithium-Ion Battery

Lithium-Ion Battery
The Lit hiu m-Ion ba t tery is a rech a rgeable ba t tery con t aining Lit hiu m-
Ion cells. E ach ba t tery con t ain s a n in tegr a ted elect ronic fuel ga uge a n d a
safety protection circuit. The b a t tery com m u nica tes wit h t he Tr a nspor t
P ro monitor a n d t he ba t t ery ch a rger via t he SMBUS 2-wire serial
in terface.

The Impact of Lithium-Ion Battery Technology on the Battery

The following a re t he key poin ts you should k now abou t Lit hiu m-Ion
ba t tery tech nology:
The ba t tery will disch a rge on its own, even when it is not in st alled in
a monitor. T his disch a rge is t he res ult of t h e Lit hiu m-Ion cells a n d
t he bia s cu r ren t required for th e in tegr a ted elect ronics.
By t h e n a t u re of Li t hiu m-Ion cells, t he b a t t ery will self-disch a rge.
The self-discha rge r a te doubles for every 10°C (18°F) rise in
temper a t u re.
The cap acity loss of t he ba t tery degr ades significa n tly a t higher
temper a t u res.
As t he bat tery ages, t he full-ch a rge cap acity of t he ba t t ery will
degr ade a n d be per m a nen tly lost. As a res ult, t he a mou n t of ch a rge
t h a t is s tored a n d available for u se is red uced.

How to Improve the Performance of the Battery

Installation Guideline
Position t he monitor in a loca tion t h a t does not a r tificially increase t h e
oper a ting temper a t u re of t he ba t t ery. See “Loca tion” on p age 3-3 for
monitor in s t all a tion requiremen ts.

Charging Guideline
Use t he Ca dex SM a r t Two+ ch a rger to ch a rge t he ba t t ery ins tead of
ch a rging t he ba t tery inside t he monitor.
The C a dex SMa r t Two+ ch a rger m ain t ains a lower ba t tery cell
temper a t u re d u ring t he ch a rge cycle t h a n t he monitor. This
reduction in temper a tu re will exten d t he life of t he ba t tery.

Conditioning Guideline
Remove t he ba t tery from t he monitor every six mon t h s a n d con dition it
u sing t he Cadex SMa r t Two+ ch a rger.
This condition cycle recalibr a tes t h e elect ronic fuel ga uge.

Storage Guideline
Store t he ba tt ery ou tside of t he monitor a t a t em per a t u re bet ween 20°C
to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
When t he ba t tery is stored in side a monitor t h a t is powered by a n AC
power sou rce, t he ba t tery cell tem per a t u re increases by 10°C to 15°C
(50°F to 59°F) above t h e room’s a mbien t temper a t u re. This red uces
t he life of t he ba t tery.
When t he ba t tery is s tored inside a monitor t h a t is con tin uou sly
powered by a n AC power sou rce a nd is not powered by ba t t ery on a
regula r basis, t he life of t he ba t tery m ay be less t h a n 12 mon t h s. GE
recom men ds t h a t you remove t he ba t tery a n d s tore it nea r t he
monitor u n til it is n eeded for t r a n spor t.

How to Identify the Capacity of the Battery

Battery Capacity Definitions
The following ter ms a re u sed to defin e t he cap acity of t he ba t tery:
Design Cap acity — The t heoretical cap acity of t he ba t tery cells when
t he ba t tery is new.
F ull Ch a rge Cap acity — The act u al a mou n t of ch a rge t he ba t tery ca n

How to Wake Up the Battery

When t he b a t t ery is stored for a long period of tim e wit hou t being
