5.4 AutoPulse NiMH Battery Installation
To install the AutoPulse NiMH Battery, first make sure the Battery Latch is rotated out of the way so that
the AutoPulse NiMH Battery can slide into the Battery compartment
Then slide the AutoPulse NiMH Battery into the Battery compartment in the AutoPulse Platform. The
Battery should snap into place and mount flush with the AutoPulse Platform. Then rotate the Battery
Latch into position.
Figure 5-4 AutoPulse NiMH Battery Installation and Removal
The AutoPulse NiMH Battery is mechanically keyed so that it can only be inserted in one orientation. If
resistance is met, check for appropriate orientation, and check to ensure there are no obstructions to
Battery insertion and that the Battery Latch is open. Ensure that the AutoPulse NiMH Battery is securely
latched (snaps into place) before moving the AutoPulse Platform or initiating chest compression. Power
on the AutoPulse every time the AutoPulse NiMH Battery is installed to ensure it is properly seated and
providing power to the AutoPulse Platform.
To remove the Battery, first rotate the Battery Latch into the open position. Then hold the AutoPulse
Platform firmly and grip the Battery while pressing the finger latch upwards to disengage the locking bar
(see Figure 5-4), then pull the Battery straight out until it fully clears the Battery compartment.
