BATTERY CHARGING
On 18605 series, the units are equipped with a factory-installed rechargeable baery. The unit
will have a light for low baery and charge indication.
Once you’ve determined that your unit is equipped with an internal rechargeable baery, con-
nect the unit to the proper AC or DC power source using the AC adapter or DC power cord. The
yellow charge indicator will be illuminated while the baery is charging. At the same time, the
red light on the AC adapter will be also illuminated. Verify that this illuminates when charging
begins. As the baery is fully charged, the red light on the AC adapter will turn to green.
NOTE
A discharged baery will require a few hours (depending on depth of discharge) of charging to
reach a full capacity.
NOTE
Do not connect the AC adapter to an outlet controlled by a switch to ensure power is supplied to
unit at all times.
NOTE
Do not connect the DC power cord to an outlet that is not constantly energized.
NOTE
A fully charged baery, on the 18605 series will provide approximately 60 minutes of continuous
operation at a zero vacuum level (free flow).
NOTE
If unit is not in use for extended periods, baery should be recharged every 6 months minimum.
CAUTION
Discharging the baery completely will shorten the life of the baery. Do not operate the unit
more than a few minutes if the low baery indicator light is lit. Recharge as soon as possible.
NOTE
When charging the baery, the baery charging indicator light will remain lit. If your unit does
not hold a charge, please be sure the model you are using has a baery installed prior to return-
ing it to your authorized Drive Medical provider or to Drive Medical. Verify that the charge light
turns on when the external power is applied with the switch in the OFF position.
NOTE
Units equipped with an internal rechargeable baery contain a lithium ion baery which must be
recycled.
