Battery Exchange

When the Low battery LED (3) starts flashing, it indicates that
the battery is almost depleted. When using the battery type
® ®
MN 1604 Duracell Procell approximately 36 hours of ser-
vice time remain. However, the battery should be replaced as
soon as possible.
Reocor S must be operated with a 9-V battery, international
code IEC 6LR61. Only leakproof alkaline manganese batter-
ies should be used. When using the battery type MN 1604
® ®
Duracell Procell , external pacing is possible for at least
600 hours at 20 ± 2°C before the battery must be replaced.
It is possible to exchange a battery while Reocor S is in use.
The device remains ready for use for at least 30 s at the ambi-
ent temperature (20 ± 2°C) when the battery is removed.
For safety reasons, the patient should be paced by another
source during the battery replacement.
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The service time of these
batteries is difficult to estimate, making it possible to inad-
vertently exceed the ERI, resulting in a sudden loss of pacing.
The battery compartment (2) is located on the right side of the
device, and can be opened by pushing the blue slider upwards
and pulling out the drawer towards the right. Remove the bat-
tery carefully.
To protect the battery poles, a rubber plug can be put on the
new battery. Remove it before you insert the new battery.
Caution! The preferred pole orientation is marked in the battery com-
partment. When inserting the new battery you only need to
ensure that the battery poles point to the middle of the hous-
ing. The position of the plus and minus pole can be selected
freely.
