Powering the VitalsBridge
External Power
To power the VitalsBridge via wall power, simply connect the external power adapter and plug into any
standard wall outlet.
Caution: Use only the included 24V power supply. Using an incorrect power supply may damage
the VitalsBridge and void the warranty.
Internal Battery
The VitalsBridge contains an internal, non-replaceable Lithium-Ion battery to allow for unplugged
operation of the unit. When fully charged, this will allow for at least 3 hours of use. To charge the
battery, connect the external power supply. The power supply will charge a fully depleted battery in 6-
12 hours. When the unit is switched on, the battery indicator on the top panel will flash when there is
less than 15% of battery life remaining; if you need to continue using the VitalsBridge, connect the
external power.
Internal Fan
The VitalsBridge contains an internal fan to keep the battery cool while charging and discharging during
use. The fan will be active under the following conditions:
1. Any time the VitalsBridge is connected to the external power supply.
2. When the VitalsBridge is switched on and not connected to the external power supply.
