Displaying Battery Runtime
The Propaq MD Battery Pack can display its present status.
Note: The Propaq Battery Pack’s LEDs light only when the Display button is pressed.
To display the status of the Propaq MD Battery Pack, press and
release the Display button (momentary press) on the top of the
battery.
When you press and release the Display button, all LEDs blink to
indicate that they work. The battery then lights specific LEDs for
approximately 10 seconds to indicate the battery’s runtime, calibration
status, and fault state.
We describe what these LEDs indicate in the following sections.
Propaq MD Battery Pack
Icon
LED Indications
This is the runtime indicator that displays the estimated
runtime of the Propaq MD Battery Pack in your defibrillator.
When you momentarily press and release the Display
button on the Propaq MD Battery Pack, the LEDs above
these icons light for approximately 10 seconds to indicate
the battery’s estimated run time.
If the battery is fully charged, the LED over each of the five
runtime indicator icons illuminates. As the battery
discharges, the number of illuminated LEDs decreases.
As the Propaq MD Battery Pack discharges, pressing the
Display
button will light, from left to right, the LED’s that
indicate the battery’s run time. For example, if four LED’s
light, the battery can power a defibrillator for at least
3 hours (displayed as 3:00+); if three LED’s light, the battery
can power the defibrillator for at least 2 hours (displayed as
2:00+
), and so on.
When you press the Display button on a battery that is
installed and powering a Propaq MD unit, the runtime
indicator displays the run time for the battery in that specific
defibrillator.
When a Propaq MD Battery Pack is not installed in a
Propaq MD unit, the runtime indicator displays the
runtime for the battery at a nominal drain rate for a
Propaq MD Unit.
Note: If the left-most LED of the runtime indicator
blinks, the battery has less than fifteen minutes
of use left, and defibrillator shutdown will soon
occur. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
