CAIRE Eclipse 5 Manuel D'utilisation page 15

Rechargeable Power Cartridge (Battery)
The Eclipse 5 can be powered by the rechargeable
Power Cartridge (Battery), which is supplied with
the device.
Installing the Battery: Align the Battery so that it
will slide into the empty Power Compartment. Push
the Battery into the empty Power Compartment
until it locks (clicks) into position and is flush with
the back of the device. When the Battery is properly
installed and the Eclipse 5 is ON, the Battery Status
Gauge will appear on the Control Panel. (If you DO
NOT have a Battery installed, the Power Cartridge
Status Gauge will not illuminate). The unit will still
operate on external power.
To remove the Battery, pull down on the black re-
lease lever. While holding DOWN the release lever,
pull the Battery away from the Eclipse 5.
Battery Operating Times: The duration-of-use of
the Battery is displayed at the top of the Control
Panel. A variety of factors, such as flow setting,
Pulse or Continuous Flow Mode, and breath rate
will impact the operating time. The table Typical
New Power Cartridge Operating Times provides
operating time estimates for the Eclipse 5 using a
new, fully charged Battery based on flow settings
and operating conditions as indicated.

Initial Battery Charging
The new Battery supplied with your Eclipse 5 is not
fully charged when it is shipped from the factory.
Before using your Eclipse 5 for the first time, you
must first fully charge the Battery.
With the AC Power Supply plugged in, and the
Battery correctly installed in the Power Compart-
ment of the device, allow the Battery to completely
charge. The Battery is fully charged when the Pow-
er Cartridge Status Gauge, on the Control Panel, is
no longer cascading.
The initial battery charge can occur with the
Eclipse either on or off and connected to AC or
DC power. The Eclipse can be used while either
discharging or recharging the Battery. It may take
between 2 and 5 hours, dependent upon the flow
setting, to achieve 80% capacity from a fully
discharged Battery. The battery will also recharge
when the Eclipse is plugged into AC or DC power
and turned off.
CAUTION: Only use the Manufacturer's provided
batteries. For proper battery disposal, contact
your Equipment Provider or your local govern-
ment agency for disposal requirements.
