CAUTION
LED INDICATOR — Replace the transmitter batteries promptly
when the Change Battery message is displayed at the central station
or when the Change Battery LED flashes on the transmitter. Failure
to replace the batteries before they are completely depleted will
result in interrupted patient monitoring and may cause damage to the
transmitter.
NOTE
When new batteries are installed, all LEDs on the transmitter flash, then
flash again twice to acknowledge the new battery installation. The flashing
LEDs do not indicate good leads. You must press the Verify Leads button to
check lead status.
When the Change Battery LED starts flashing, the transmitter has
approximately one hour of reserve power before the unit shuts down.
When a low battery condition occurs, approximately two hours before the
battery loses power, the Change Battery message displays at the CIC Pro
center with an audible System Warning alarm. When the battery is dead, the
Change Battery message displays at the CIC Pro center with an audible
System Warning alarm and the patient goes into NO TELEM.
NOTE
When replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and follow your local
recycling or disposal guidelines.
For optimum performance, follow these guidelines:
Install two new AA alkaline batteries when you begin monitoring a new patient.
Install two new AA alkaline batteries when the Change Battery LED flashes.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.

1. Locate the battery cover at the bottom of the transmitter.
2. Slide the cover over to open the battery compartment.
3. Insert the batteries according to the polarity signs on the lower back side of the
transmitter.
