General Warnings and Precautions
0
Caution:
United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed physician.
Caution:
The AutoPulse System is designed to be used only with ZOLL Circulation-approved
accessories. The AutoPulse System will perform improperly if non-approved accessories are
used.
Caution:
Only use ZOLL Circulation Batteries specifically designed for use with the AutoPulse
System. The use of other batteries may cause permanent damage to the AutoPulse Platform
and will void the warranty.
Caution:
Do not short the Battery Power leads. Electrical connection (short) between Battery power
leads on the connector permanently damages the Battery and renders the Battery inoperable.
Caution:
Always charge Batteries at temperatures between 41ºF (5ºC) and 95ºF (35ºC). Charging
Batteries at temperatures below 41ºF (5ºC) or above 95ºF (35ºC) will prevent the Battery from
reaching its full capacity (operational time) and may lead to irreversible Battery damage.
Warning:
•
Always charge a new Battery. Failure to charge a Battery may cause reduced Battery
performance.
•
Always charge a stored Battery before placing the Battery in active operation. Battery may
self-discharge when not in use. Failure to charge a Battery before use may cause device
power failure.
