discharged .
The batteries are charging whenever the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded, hospital grade power source .
When the unit is stationary, the power cord should be plugged into a power source whenever possible .
There is a battery power gauge at the head end of the litter (see Figure 2) . The 7 LED's illuminate individually to indicate
the level of battery power available . As the batteries are charging, the LED's will flash in succession until all are flashing
(at 1 second intervals) to indicate the batteries are fully charged .
CAUTION
Remove the batteries if the equipment is placed in storage or will remain idle for an extended period of time . Each
battery weighs 25 pounds . To avoid personal injury, use caution when removing the two batteries .
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of
