You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting
monitoring.
The batteries recharge automatically whenever the monitor is connected to mains power.
Battery operation may not be available in all geographies.
Battery Power Indicators
The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP
messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the
remaining capacity in relation to the battery’s actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the
battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window.
When both batteries are empty the monitor switches off automatically.
Battery LED
The battery LED on the front panel of the
monitor is indicated by a battery symbol.

batteries detected and the combined battery power remaining,
with an estimate of the monitoring time this represents.
