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-approved accessories. The
AutoPulse System will perform improperly if non-approved accessories are used.
Caution: Do not short the Battery leads. Electrical connection (short) between the Battery power leads
on the connector permanently damages the Battery and renders the Battery inoperable.
Caution: Always charge AutoPulse 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.
Caution: Do not block the Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger’s ventilation slots.
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. In no case should any Battery be used if it has not been charged within 2 days.
•
No modification of the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger, the AutoPulse Li-Ion
Battery, or the AutoPulse NiMH Battery is allowed.
