Battery care
Recharging time
The battery charges to full capacity within eight hours (if the monitor remains off).
Monitor functions resumed
In most instances, most monitor functions are usable immediately after plugging in the ac
power adapter and cycling the power switch. More charging time may be required before
the NIBP, CO
2
, and printer can be operated.
Operating times using battery power
The amount of time you can operate the Propaq Encore on each battery charge depends
upon many variables including active options, frequency of NIBP measurements,
frequency and length of print strips, ambient temperature, battery age and condition, and
what information is displayed.
Caution Make sure the voltage selector indicates the proper ac input voltage. If
you change the adapter voltage setting, you must replace all fuses to match the
appropriate type specified on the bottom of the power adapter. The only fuses
contained in the power adapter when shipped from the factory are fuses
specified for the original adapter input voltage setting.
