Look after the battery
- Recharge when the battery drops to about 20%. This extends its life.
- If the cart won’t be used for a while, turn the Power Cell off and unplug it.
- For long-term storage, charge it to about 80% every 3 to 6 months.
- Clean it with a dry cloth only.
- Store it between -10°C and 45°C. Don’t stack anything on it.
Safety
- Use the Power Cell only with Visionflex approved carts and accessories. Don’t use it to power other appliances.
- The Power Cell is not medical grade and is not certified to IEC 60601-1. Don’t use it in operating theatres, ICUs or other critical care settings, or near devices that need IEC 60601 compliance.
- Keep it away from liquids, heat and flammable materials. Use it on a stable, level surface with good airflow.
- Don’t open, modify or repair it yourself. This voids the warranty.
- If it malfunctions, turn it off straight away and contact Visionflex support.
Troubleshooting
