V26CT/V24CT Power Supply

V26CT/V24CT Power Supply
The V24CT and V26CT are powered by an external AC (line power) or by
their own internal battery power supply. Your monitoring needs will
determine which power source is used. We recommend that you plug
the monitor into line or AC power whenever the monitor is not being
moved or used, or for long term bedside monitoring. When transporting
a patient or when monitoring in a remote area, where AC power is not
feasible, use battery power.
Warning Warning
Do not disconnect the power cord from the monitor and leave it
connected to the AC power source. This could cause damage to
the power cord. Instead, keep the power cord connected to the
monitor and unplug it from the AC power source.
The power cord must be inspected periodically for cracks or
exposed metal parts. Replace immediately if there are any
cracks, exposed metal parts, or any other signs of wear and tear.
Battery
The V24CT and V26CT can be powered by 1 or 2 sealed 12 Volt lead-acid
