CHECKING THE COT BATTERY POWER LEVEL
To check the battery power level, press the retract (–)
button (A) as shown in Figure 20 on the cot control switch
to activate the cot battery LED indicator (B) as shown in
Figure 21 on
page
1-32.
The cot battery LED indicator is located at the Power-PRO™
foot end control enclosure (shown as a battery symbol).
• The LED is solid green when the battery is fully charged
or has adequately charged battery power.
• The LED flashes amber when the battery needs to be
recharged or replaced.
• The LED is solid amber to indicate a battery error.
See the SMRT™ Power System Operations/Maintenance
Manual for additional SMRT™ Pak and SMRT™ Charger
information.
Notes:
• Automatic charging will only occur with SMRT™ Pak batteries.
• Only use Stryker-approved batteries with Power-PRO™.
• If applicable, Power-LOAD automatically charges the Power-PRO™ SMRT™ Pak battery when the cot is locked
into Power-LOAD in the transport position (no cable or connectors required). The cot battery LED indicator
momentarily flashes green to signify that it is charging.
WARNING
• To avoid risk of electric shock, never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert it into the charger. Return damaged battery packs to a service center for
recycling.
• Do not remove the battery when the cot is activated.
• Avoid direct contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.
CAUTION
• Only use the battery and charger as specified in the SMRT™ Power System Operations/Maintenance Manual.
• The cot is not for use with an AC adapter.
• When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach
during transport.
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause
poor cot performance.
