BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator can be powered by either of two types of batteries:
• A nonrechargeable Lithium manganese dioxide battery
• A rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Follow the guidelines described in this section to help maximize battery life and performance.
Use only Physio-Control batteries designed for use with the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator. Do not
use any other batteries.
Note: Always carry a spare, fully charged battery.
Note: When a battery is removed from the defibrillator, battery and service symbols appear
on the readiness display. After replacing the battery, the device resets the readiness display.
CAUTION!
Possible equipment damage.
Do not clean any part of the defibrillator or accessories with bleach, bleach dilution, or phenolic
compounds. Do not use abrasive or flammable cleaning agents. Do not steam, autoclave, or
gas-sterilize the defibrillator or accessories.

WARNINGS!
Safety risk and possible equipment damage.
• Damaged batteries may leak and cause personal injury or equipment damage. Handle
damaged or leaking batteries with extreme care.
• Do not carry a battery where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips) could
short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery, or cause fire or burns.
• Keep batteries away from children.
Possible defibrillator shutdown.
When the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator displays the REPLACE BATTERY message, replace the
battery immediately.
Possible loss of power during patient care.
Using an improperly maintained battery to power the defibrillator may cause power failure
without warning. Maintain batteries as described in these operating instructions.
