even though they will be charged sequentially. The battery icon lights
green when the respective battery is fully charged.
When the patient monitor is operating under battery power the battery
icons are not illuminated. The icons are also not illuminated when the
respective battery is either not being charged, not installed, or has failed.
The following table explains what the charging status indicators mean.
NOTE
No specific indicator distinguishes a failed battery pack condition
from a condition where the battery is not installed or is not being
charged. Go to the Service Menu for Battery Status. Refer to
“Battery alarms and messages” on page 6-7 for further information.
Battery status indicators
The battery status indicators are located inside the battery
compartment. One green LED indicator is located above each of the two
battery slots and lights green when the patient monitor is receiving
power solely from the respective battery. The indicators do not
illuminate when the patient monitor is not battery powered.
Neither indicator lights when the patient monitor is operating from both
batteries simultaneously (e.g., in a very low battery charge condition
when both batteries are joined together in order to sustain operation of
the patient monitor).
Battery capacity gauge
On-screen capacity gauges indicate the battery’s current state of health
and charge status. A battery capacity gauge for each battery present
displays below the parameter blocks in the lower right corner of the
display. The capacity gauge indicates the remaining charge capacity
(usable energy left) for each battery.
