Taking care of the batteries 
What you need to know 
y
  You have two batteries so you can use one while charging the other. Change 
and recharge batteries every 24 hours. 
y
  Recharging the battery can take up to 16 hours. 
y
  Place the charger in a safe place where you can leave it plugged in. Keep the 
second battery in the charger while you use the monitor. 
y
  The battery and charger may get warm. This is normal. Place the charger in a 
well ventilated place. 
y
  Use only the batteries and charger supplied with the LifeVest system. 
y
  Remove the battery from the monitor whenever you’re not wearing the 
device. For example, when you remove the device to take a shower, be sure 
to remove the battery first, to ensure the device is not active when you are 
not wearing it. 
In the event of a power outage 
If power is interrupted for any reason, you need to take steps to keep your 
batteries charged. 
y
  Notify your electric company and fire department to let them know you have a 
medical device that needs power. 
y
  Locate a source of backup power if possible, such as a generator. Plug the 
battery charger into the backup power and charge the spare battery 
continuously. Change the batteries every 24 hours. 
y
  If a generator is not available, and you expect power to be out for more than 
24 hours, contact ZOLL Lifecor immediately at 1-800-543-3267 to have spare 
batteries sent to you. 
y
  When the power is restored, plug in your charger as normal. Continue 
charging and changing batteries every 24 hours.
