Battery operation

Two batteries are available for the monitor:

Lithium-Ion battery

: This type of battery will provide power for approximately two

hours when fully charged.

Lead acid battery

: This type of battery will provide power for approximately one hour

when fully charged.

When running on battery power the battery symbol is displayed next to the time. The
battery indicator gives an approximate guide to the capacity of the battery:

When the battery capacity is close to depletion:

the alarm message Battery low appears

the battery symbol flashes

an audible alarm beep is heard

the visual alarm indicator flashes blue

After a few minutes if the monitor is not connected to the mains supply, the message
Battery nearly depleted

is displayed and a continuous beep is heard; the monitor

switches off. If mains is connected during this period the monitor remains on.

Connect the monitor to the mains supply. For battery recharging, see

“Recharging the

battery”
