2026653-019 GE Dash3000 Dash4000 Dash5000 Patient Monitor Battery Door

Battery door features

• High Quality Battery Door with Wireframe Assembly for Dash™ Patient Monitor Lighter Weight Compact
• UV and ozone resistant
• Easy to install and disconnect

Replace the battery door

1.Remove the three screws securing the battery door assembly to the rear housing. Remove the battery door assembly.

2. Install the new door and reassemble the patient monitor.

How to charge the battery

The battery can be charged in one of two ways:

Use the CadexSMartTwo+ charger outside the patient monitor.

Inside the patient monitor connected to AC power.

Charge the battery with the CadexSMartTwo + charger

1. Insert the battery into the charger. LED power indicator.

2. Leave the battery in the charger until the LED lights up

NOTE: If the error LED is on, remove the battery from the charger and reinsert it. This should fix any loader timeout errors. However, if this does not fix the charging depleted error, then the battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Charge the battery in the patient monitor

Note non-recommended (incompatible) batteries will not charge in the Dash patient monitor.

The battery charges when the patient monitor is connected to AC power.

When you store the battery in a patient monitor connected to AC power (a state called "floating"), the battery will self-discharge to less than 90% of its full charge capacity in about two weeks (depending on the battery temperature). At this point, the patient monitor will automatically charge the battery to 100% of its full charge capacity

How to store batteries

1.Conditioning the battery to 100% capacity before the battery is stored can improve the battery's storage shelf life.

2.Store the battery outside the patient monitor at a temperature of 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

• When batteries are stored in a patient monitor powered by AC power, the temperature of the battery cells can be 10°C to 15°C (18°F to 27°F) warmer than the ambient temperature of the room. This reduces battery life.
• The battery life may be less than 12 months when stored in a patient monitor that is continuously powered by AC power and not periodically powered by the battery. GE recommends that you remove the battery and store it near the patient monitor until it needs to be transported.

• Reinstall the battery every six months to increase the shelf life of the memory

How to wake up the battery

When the battery is stored for a long time without charging, it will eventually lose all power and "fall asleep". When the battery is "asleep", none of the LEDs on the battery will light up when the battery's on/off button is pressed. You have to "wake up" the battery to use it again.

There are two ways to wake up the battery:

1.Use the SMartTwo+ charger through Cadex.

2.Inside the patient monitor connected to AC power.
